Healthy Eating - Three Fats You Need To Know About


Healthy Eating

Are you getting enough of the right fats in your daily eating plan? Many people struggle to consume adequate levels of healthy fats each and every day. Most will have no trouble consuming high levels of unhealthy fats if they are feasting on fast food, processed foods, and other convenience items. But, those are the type of fats you want out of your diet while you then bring the healthy fats back in.

To help make things easier for you, let's look at three significant oil sources of fats you should be considering to add to your eating plan. Each will enhance your health...

1. Coconut Oil. First, you have coconut oil. If you've been reading up on nutrition, chances are you have heard of this several times. Coconut oil is very popular right now because it offers a world of benefits both regarding your health and body composition.

Coconut oil is unlike other fats in that it's available immediately as an energy source for your body, so is perfect for those who are on a lower carb eating plan.
Also, coconut oil is also great for helping...
  • to boost your immune system,
  • to improve the health of your heart,
  • to reduce your risk of depression,
  • to accelerate healing,
  • to prevent disease, and
  • to keep your insulin sensitivity in check.
It's a can't miss out on healthy fat you need to get into your day.

2. Avocado Oil. Next, you have avocado oil. Avocado oil is very rich in unsaturated fats and will also provide you with an excellent dose of vitamin E. Think of this as the skin-health fat. Just a little bit will have your skin, hair, and nails looking fantastic.

Avocado oil has a lower smoke point, so use this oil as a salad dressing, or using it in any other recipe that calls for uncooked oil to be used.

3. Olive Oil. Finally, we can't speak about healthy fats and oils without mentioning olive oil. Olive oil is king when it comes to healthy fats. This unsaturated fat source will help...
  • to increase the levels of "good" or HDL cholesterol, you have in your body,
  • to decrease the levels of "bad" or LDL cholesterol,
  • to reduce your risk of stroke and heart disease, and can also help
  • to support proper brain function.
Just one word on buying olive oil, though - go for quality. Many olive oils on the market aren't of high quality. The ideal olive oil offers a slightly peppery taste and should not be yellow in color.
So keep these three oils in mind as you plan your weekly menu. Double check to ensure you are getting enough of the healthy fats you need each day.

Although managing your disease can be very challenging, Type 2 diabetes is not a condition you must just live with. You can make simple changes to your daily routine and lower both your weight and your blood sugar levels. Hang in there, the longer you do it, the easier it gets.
