Fat and diets

Despite this, many still tend to flee them. However, we must take into account that a well structured diet is one that is balanced and respects the laws of the body. Concerning fat, not just eliminate them, but to consume adequate.

Here we say that you can eat fat with confidence that your body can function very well and not have problems of overweight and if you go, these tips will help you reduce fat and keep harmful fat essential or beneficial for your body to work optimally, and this gets reflected in your health and your natural beauty. Remember talking about fat: better quality than quantity.

Fat and hair

If you want a healthy and shiny hair, make sure, among other things, that your hair has enough fat quality. The hair is made of protein and oils. If your body lacks these, they will steal the hair directly, making this look dull and lifeless. The extra virgin olive oil, and fatty acids Omega 3 and 6 in the nuts, peanuts, etc. and in the blue fish as salmon and tuna, are excellent for strengthening your hair, and consuming within a balanced diet, do not cause overweight.

Fat and skin

Just as hair, skin is made with, among other things, proteins and oils. A well-nourished skin is one that is fat enough to be able to look smooth and with young appearance. If your skin is often dry, it will most likely not have enough nutrients or oils. Therefore, you should include in your diet oilseed oils, oil cold pressed alive, fish, avocado, among others. Avocado also has a high content of vitamin E, ideal nutrient for the hair to the skin.

Fats and the brain

The brain is made up of 40% water and 60% protein and a type of omega-3 fat, also known as alpha acid (LNA). Consuming fat quality is extremely important to meet the biological needs of the brain. Fats called omega are the most important and favorable for the light of optimal brain function. Omega fats are collaborating in the formation of inter-neurons, also play an important role as a component of myelin, which is the layer of fat that protects the brain and allows the transmission of nerve impulses between different parts of the body due to its insulating effect.

The lack of quality fats in the body causes many consequences, one of which is depression. Fat, together with iodine, a nutrient essential to brain development, contains 600 g of unsaturated fatty acids.

The fats that you should avoid

Making conscience of ingested fat is the key to a good start eliminating only those products that "fill" the body and in some cases not even feed.

Fats are generally classified as saturated (monounsaturated) and unsaturated (polyunsaturated). The former are solid at room temperature and predominant among them those that contain animal products such as eggs, sausages and ham, margarine and butter, ice cream, milk, animal, and so on. When you lose control of these fats, an increase of cholesterol and hence degenerative processes such as arteriosclerosis or cardiovascular problems. Unsaturated fats, on the other hand, are liquid, and predominate in food of plant origin such as olive oil, seeds, nuts, some fruits such as avocado, blue fish, sardines, anchovies, etc.

Surely we must take precedence vegetable fats, particularly olive oil, corn, sesame, canola, and so on. Delete these oils in the diet is actually harmful.

Remember also to include these fats to have a well balanced diet which including lots of vegetables.
