Default Healthy Fats For Our Body

Most people consider fats to be the main culprit in their becoming obese. However, facts suggest that there are several people who tend to gain weight in spite of a restricted intake of fatty foods. It would be absolutely wrong to say that fats are always harmful for our body. Fats are basically of two main types: the essential fats and the non-essential fats. While, the excessive intake of non-essential fats may cause one to put on weight, the reduced intake of the essential fats may also harm you.


The essential fats include: Monounsaturated Fats and Polyunsaturated Fats. The polyunsaturated fats include the Omega-3 group of fatty acids. These are super healthy fats and are extremely essential for our regular body functions. Some of the chief functions of Omega-3 fatty acids include:

  • Helping in blood clotting.
  • Building the cell membrane.
  • Reduce cardiovascular diseases.
  • Reduce development of 'silent' brain lesions.
  • Reduce the symptoms of depression.

The Main Healthy Fats Of Our Body are:
Saturated fats: Saturated fats are found in red meat, cheese, butter, cakes, chocolates, pastries, poultry and dairy products. If you take high intake of saturated fats, you may have risk of getting heart disease.

Trans fats: Trans fat is found in processed and deep fried foods. It is created by a process called hydrogenation to improve the stability of vegetable oils and to convert liquid oils into solid fats in foods such as pastries and cakes. Trans fat is bad to you heart as it increases the bad LDL cholesterol in the same way as saturated fat.

Monounsaturated fats: These fats are found in plant sources like nuts, avocados, peanut and olive oils. They are liquid at room temperature and are good fats.

Polyunsaturated fats:
These fats are liquid at room temperature and come from vegetable sources. These fats are found in sun flower, corn, canola oils, flaxseed, safflower oils and sea foods and include healthy omega-3 fatty acids.

Good Information,

When we talk of essential fatty acids, we mean only some of the acids contained in fats. There are a number of such acids found in foods containing oil, but linoleic acid is the most important. Others, such as oleic or arachadonic acids, are able to perform isolated functions in the body but linoleic acid can be converted to these other fatty acids. Therefore, linoleic acid alone is able to do the job of every other fatty acid if enough linoleic acid is available.

Here I'm discussing With You Some Of The Good Fats Of The Body:
1) Oils good for cooking and baking
When evaluating your fat intake, first examine the fats you regularly use for cooking and baking. Butter, shortening, and lard are high in saturated fats (a not-so-healthy fat). Margarines can be high in trans fats (a bad-for-you fat).
2)Avocado: high fat but nutritious
Also known as an “alligator pear,” due to its shape and skin texture, this high-fat nutritious food is the perfect addition to salads, salsas, soups and more. Not only does it add great creamy flavor, it can also boost nutrition. Many vegetables are loaded with beneficial carotenoids that are great for your health and can aid in disease prevention.
3)Nuts are healthy
Once given a bad rap due to their high fat content, nuts are now considered as a health food—ironically because of their fats (the good, heart-healthy kind). They also contain an array of beneficial nutrients, including vitamin E and zinc, and are a good source of fiber.
4)Fish fat is essential
Fish contain omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fats are termed “essential” because the human body cannot make them on its own. The health benefits of omega-3s run the gamut; they have been said to improve everything from heart health to mental health problems.
5)Olives - the perfect snack
Olives are a good source of healthy monounsaturated fats, but don’t let these high-fat little bites fool you. Unlike many other high-fat foods, olives can also be a low-calorie snack all on their own. One serving of 20 small black olives is a great snack with less than 100 calories and will contain a good amount of iron, fiber, vitamin E, and copper.
