When it comes to fats, which ones should you eat and which ones should you avoid?
Avoid trans-fats (hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils). These are artificially saturated oils with changed chemical structure in a form the body can’t use. One example is margarine. Chips, crackers, baked sweets and treats are loaded with them. Even if a commercial food advertises “no trans-fats,” it likely still contains processed polyunsaturated fats.
Use cold-pressed, refrigerated vegetable oils that come in dark bottles (found mainly at health food stores). Enjoy butter, cheese, cream, eggs (yolk included!) and coconut oil, as well as avocados, nuts and seeds. The rule of thumb is: The more natural and closer to what God created, the better and healthier the fat.
Remember, all forward motion counts. Pick one tip or suggestion above to implement today. As you that becomes part of your routine, perhaps choose another suggestion to implement. Every step made toward healthier eating leads to a healthier you!
