Fat, as well as a host of health guard

Is to lose weight or to lose weight, hear the fat, will feel very angry because it allows her to lose fine figure, leaving annoying dewlap.

But really all fats are bad for our health? "is not. The following small series to join look fat family, see who is the fat family risk elements, and who is the Savior of the family.

1, dangerous molecules — saturated fatty acids

It increases blood cholesterol, blocking blood vessel, easily lead to heart disease, high blood pressure.

Meat is the "bad fat". It also hiding in three kinds of vegetable oils: coconut oil, palm oil and palm kernel oil. Unfortunately, in food processing, the most commonly used oil in them. Some non-dairy products, like cookies, biscuits, chocolate, cocoa butter, etc. in their best garments. These small molecules are corrupt, make the human body cholesterol manufacturing faster, just like eating a lot of fat in the future.

2, terrorists — trans fatty acids

Trans fatty acids also called Hydrogenated fat or fat.

Does not exist in the natural flora and fauna, but by our own manufacturing of mankind. It is in the process of adding hydrogen to vegetable oil in liquid form. Liquid vegetable oils for food producers brought about many issues. For example, corn oil, soybean oil is not in bread, use them to do the pie is very bad. At the same time they also as light, air and temperature and oxidation and thus cannot be stored for a long time. To this end, hydrogenated role is the solution. Because vegetable oil after hydrogenation treatment, it's not easy to corruption, on shelves in a few months would not be bad; making pastries are also easier to forming; but also very tasty. So after hydrogenation treatment of vegetable oil, also known as margarine, is heavily used to the convenience food, fast food, fried food and pastries.

Trans fatty acids will increase your body's low density lipoproteins LDL (bad).

Also reduces HDL HDL (good) content, will both lipids are pushed into the wrong direction. Worse, they will replace the essential fatty acids in the position of the cell membrane, impede the metabolism and make you fat. In addition, trans fatty acids on heart disease, diabetes, cancer, obesity and immunity loss adjuster is associated. Latest research has shown that it even increases the incidence of breast cancer, it is recommended that women as little to eat this kind of fat.

3. health killer-ω-6 Polyunsaturated fatty acids

This is by far the most dangerous kind of fatty acids.

Saturated fatty acids and trans fatty acids in spite of the danger, but after all, has attracted people's attention. But the ω-6 Polyunsaturated fatty acid (also known as linoleic acid) until today has also been some people deemed good fat widely disseminated. Especially some vegetable oil manufacturers, in order to give them publicity can bring greater benefits of soybean oil, corn oil, sunflower oil, is a grand campaign "linoleic acid is good for health".

Ω-6 Polyunsaturated fatty acid (also known as linoleic acid) and ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (also known as linolenic acid), both of which cannot be synthesized in the body, required from external food supplement, also known as essential fatty acids.

Ω-6 Polyunsaturated fatty acids is not devoid of any merit.

The human body cannot lack of linoleic acid. It is for the maintenance of cell membranes and membrane structure and function. Children lack of linoleic acid appear growth retardation and eczema Dermatitis, adults lack of linoleic acid, p-rind appears, hair loss and the wound healed, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, and other behavioral disorders and symptoms. But the crux of the matter is linoleic acid in nature and human food chain's content is too rich. Body had not yet seen linoleic acid deficiency in all syndrome, on the contrary it widespread uptake of excessive symptoms. Excessive intake of CLA, directly with our high cancer, depression, obesity, insulin resistance syndrome, allergy, autoimmune diseases and the incidence of diabetes.

Rich ω-6 Polyunsaturated fatty acids of oils are:

Soybean oil, peanut oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, sesame oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil.

4, good fats — monounsaturated fatty acid (also known as oleic acid)

They are olive oil, Canada rapeseed oil, camellia oil, walnut oil, almonds etc.

We can use oil as a cooking oil.

Scientists find single unsaturated fatty acids not only reduce the "bad cholesterol" content, you can significantly increase the "good cholesterol" content, thereby preventing cholesterol deposition, reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease. And no other adverse effects on people.

5, fat family "Savior"-ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (also known as α-linolenic acid)

Ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (α-linolenic acid) on human health effects:

● Α-linolenic acid in lipid-lowering effects of significant, their adoption of prostaglandin pathways of lipid-lowering drug is any other are incomparable.

It has a total count of lipid-lowering effect, antithrombotic effect, lipids, antiarrhythmic and fibrillation role and the role of anti-inflammatory response. Α-linolenic acid metabolites can expand blood vessels, increase elasticity of blood vessels, thus the antihypertensive effect.

• Study finds α-linolenic acid with strong anticancer effects.

Make cancer cells growth speed significantly reduced; can inhibit colon cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, central nervous system tumor angiogenesis; promotes the natural death of cancer cells; can enhance the effectiveness of chemotherapy; and also greatly reduce the toxicity of chemotherapy; to improve cancer patients cachexia, reduce weight and increase protein synthesis in vivo. Α-linolenic acid can make cancer cells not easy 滲 through to blood vessels and organs surrounding basement membrane, thereby reducing the cancer cell transfer speed.

● Α-linolenic acid can enhance cell sensitivity to insulin, protects us from diabetes and other metabolic disease

。

● Α-linolenic acid to uniforms are too active suppression of the immune system, allergic reaction, block inflammatory diseases.

● Α-linolenic acid can reduce the risk of coronary heart disease and certain cancers, it also improves bone growth.

● Α-linolenic acid can prolong life.

● Α-linolenic acid can protect your eyesight.

Retina in particularly special as extracellular DHA, absence of, vision will decline, retinal reflection ability of recovery time longer. And α-linolenic acid metabolites DHA, can improve and protect your eyesight.

● Α-linolenic acid can improve human emotions.

Its metabolites may significantly reduce the DHA to depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, mental breakdown.

● Α-linolenic acid is weight loss.

It can suppress appetite to prevent the accumulation of fat in the body. The food in the stomach retained longer than non-fat or low fat food. To promote intestinal secretion from a called intestinal peptide hormone promoting pancreatin, will give the brain signals given stop eating. In one can eat all nutrients, linseed oil in α-linolenic acid to prevent hunger, gave full zhanggan. It does not accumulate in the form of fat in the body.

Much-needed improvements in linoleic acid and α-linolenic acid ratio of serious imbalance

As a result of ω-6 Polyunsaturated fatty acids (linoleic acid) and ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (α-linolenic acid) in the body over a total of enzymatic conversion of derivative, a fatty acid intake too much, they will undermine another fatty acid of transformation.

Therefore the world's scientists have found that the balance between the two is essential. The World Health Organization raised the ω-6: ratio of ω-3 should be less than 6: 1, Ministry of health and welfare, Japan suggested should be less than 4: 1, Chinese nutriological society 2001 should be 4-6: 1, scientists make the best ratio should be 1-3: 1. However due to the rapid increase of living standards, increasing the total amount of fatty acid intake, real life people's ratio of essential fatty acid intake has been as high as 20-30: 1, or serious excess linoleic acid, linolenic acid, proportion of serious imbalance. This is the standard of living, many chronic disease incidence has increased.

Α-linolenic acid in the body of the absence of fault caused membrane

Each cell has a wall--membrane--it's function is to not let the toxins, bacteria, viruses and other harmful substances into cells, and allows the cells need a variety of nutrition into cells.

Out of the failure of cell membrane lost against bacteria, viruses, toxins and other harmful substances into cells and destroy cells function. Fats and oils are used to manufacture these membrane key material. If you eat a good fats and oils, your membrane functions properly. If the food was bad fats. Your membrane function is not working properly, then we can imagine to any disease are likely to occur. Many people sick reason are caused by improper diet membrane structural defects.

When lack of α-linolenic acid, the body will use the body of saturated fat, trans-fat or Hydrogenated fat for the manufacture of cell membrane.

Trans-fats and hydrogenated fat shape cannot be used to build good cell membrane. Use them to build the membrane is flawed and fragile. If your body up by many cells are vulnerable and fragile, a variety of diseases.

Too much saturated fat in the diet can cause the rigidity of the cell membrane, lack the necessary flexibility.

The hardening of the arteries, easily cracked, muscle and tendon tear injuries such as easily. Built by hydrogenated oil prevents oxygen enters the cell membrane of cells, and cell hypoxia will turn into cancer. Causing obesity, hypertension, high blood cholesterol, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer and other diseases of civilization "modern."
