What harm can excess fat do to you?
All fats including cholesterol-lowering polyunsaturated types can
increase weight and medical problems.Fat is a factor in some of our
biggest killer disease-cardiovascular,some cancers,adult-onset
diabetes and high blood pressure.A number of studies have suggested
that a reduction in saturated fat can raise the level of HDL
cholesterol-the ‘good’ cholesterol that apparently resists the buildup
of fatty deposits .And the substitution of polyunsaturated for
saturated fat can reduce the tendency of the blood to form tiny blood
clots that may initiate heart attacks and strokes. However ,the danger
of simply categorising saturated fat as good fat and polyunsaturated
fat as bad fat is that even polyunsaturated types of fat can carry
diet and heart risks.Hence,it is not correct to assume that it is
enough to curtail cholesterol-rich saturated fats,despite the fact
that saturated fat and cholesterol do contribute to increased risk for
heart disease.The play-it-safe advice is to cut down on all
fats-animal and vegetable,saturated and polyunsaturated or simply keep
your fat intake equally balanced.According to recent studies,reducing
fat intake will decrease blood pressure -regardless of tge type of
fat.
Not all calories are equal.Fat can make you gain weight faster than
either protiens and carbonhydrates.At 9calories per gram fats are the
back on fats is essential to any weight-loss program.One theory to
explain this fact is to burn about as many protien and carbohydrate
calories as you consume-not so with fat.Your body expends onjy 6 cal
to turn two hundred cal of food fat into body fat.
