Amazing Fat Facts and How They Result to Hyperlipidemia

103 12
Fat Facts: Fats are not notoriously that bad! They are vital to our health as well.
Their main function is to carry oxygen to every cell in our body.
They are the basis for the hormone, brain and nervous system to function.
So, why hate fats? After all, foods with more fats on them are the most tempting to take despite the many facts given to us that they are not good to our health.
Saturated facts for example, are not that all good.
But it is not bad either.
At least, it gives our body the chance to know how to burn energy.
All fats are mixtures of good and bad fats, or right and wrong fats.
If you carry the wrong fats, you tend to eat up to 6 times more fats in order to get the right ones.
The question is how much fat that are good you consume and how much fats that are bad? Good fats protect you from cancer.
Bad fats allow it.
Good fats come from olives, durians, egg yolks, fish, seeds, nuts, durians and oils that are unrefined.
Bad fats come from refined oils, shortening, partially hydrogenated oils, deep-fryed foods and high-heat commercial processing.
Examples are trans fats, cross-linked fatty acids, dozens of other compounds that are not natural, double-bond shifted fatty acids.
Our body is not prepared for these kinds of fats.
So, it cannot recognize them.
So these bad fats take over the place of good fats in our cell membranes.
Because of that, cell membranes cannot function well.
From here can originate insulin resistance and diabetes.
What we have to be more conscious of is the excess of fats in our body.
They are harmful to our health and can lead to major diseases.
Excess fats in our body can lead to obesity, excess intake of alcohol, hypertension and diabetes.
Fat Facts: Now, the presence of excess fats or 'lipids' (scientific term for fats) in the blood is called hyperlipidemia.
It is the result of an unhealthy lifestyle such as smoking, lack of exercise and obesity.
This can also be caused by conditions like genetics, diabetes, pregnancy, kidney disease and an under-active thyroid gland.
This disease in return, can lead to kidney failure, low thyroid hormone levels and heart disease.
Men over 45 years or women over 55 are most likely to develop this disease or earlier if the lifestyle is unhealthy or if it runs in the blood.
Avoiding this disease means avoiding bad fats from bad sources.
This should affect dietary routines, exercise and reduction of weight.
If these natural lifestyle changes are not enough, then medications should be applied.
Bottom line is: maintain a healthy diet at all times.
