The notion that saturated fat is “bad” dominates the literature on cardiovascular health. All that has ever really been proven is that if you eat a diet high in saturated fat, high in sugar, and low in fiber, you are on the fast track for just about any metabolic disease and cancer. Contrary to this body of “literature” stands the undeniable fact that saturated fat is one of the best fuels for your body and brain and is vital to your health. A new human study shows that the essential fatty acid DHA Docosahexaenoic acid Essential omega 3 fatty acid integral to the health of all cell membranes, nerve and brain function. Must be gotten through the diet via cold water oceanic fish or some very limited plant sources or taken as a supplement. is vital to saturated fat working properly in your body. During evolution animals with high levels of saturated fat also had high levels of DHA Docosahexaenoic acid Essential omega 3 fatty acid integral to the health of all cell membranes, nerve and brain function. Must be gotten through the diet via cold water oceanic fish or some very limited plant sources or taken as a supplement. – because they ate grass. Feeding animals corn and other foods void of DHA Docosahexaenoic acid Essential omega 3 fatty acid integral to the health of all cell membranes, nerve and brain function. Must be gotten through the diet via cold water oceanic fish or some very limited plant sources or taken as a supplement. causes them to be high in saturated fat and low in DHA Docosahexaenoic acid Essential omega 3 fatty acid integral to the health of all cell membranes, nerve and brain function. Must be gotten through the diet via cold water oceanic fish or some very limited plant sources or taken as a supplement., making a potentially unhealthy fat intake, especially when combined with high sugar, low fiber, and low polyphenols antioxidant shown to affect cell-to-cell signaling, receptor sensitivity, inflammatory enzyme activity or gene regulation. Found in many different fruits, vegetables, red wine, grains, honey, and legumes. due to a lack of fresh fruit and vegetables. The current study measured the circulation response to a meal high in saturated fat, with or without added DHA Docosahexaenoic acid Essential omega 3 fatty acid integral to the health of all cell membranes, nerve and brain function. Must be gotten through the diet via cold water oceanic fish or some very limited plant sources or taken as a supplement.. A surge of saturated fat coming into the circulation poses a challenge of efficiently moving that fat someplace where it needs to go, sort of like a lot of semi-trailer trucks coming on to a highway in rush hour. The study shows that DHA Docosahexaenoic acid Essential omega 3 fatty acid integral to the health of all cell membranes, nerve and brain function. Must be gotten through the diet via cold water oceanic fish or some very limited plant sources or taken as a supplement. prevents the traffic jam in your circulation following a meal high in saturated fat, acting as the key nutrient that keeps the traffic flowing even though there is some extra work to do. Eating meat from range-raised animals will naturally have higher DHA Docosahexaenoic acid Essential omega 3 fatty acid integral to the health of all cell membranes, nerve and brain function. Must be gotten through the diet via cold water oceanic fish or some very limited plant sources or taken as a supplement., as will eating fatty fish like salmon. It is wise to take DHA Docosahexaenoic acid Essential omega 3 fatty acid integral to the health of all cell membranes, nerve and brain function. Must be gotten through the diet via cold water oceanic fish or some very limited plant sources or taken as a supplement. with any higher fat meal so that the fat calories can help sustain your energy and not have adverse effects. I am not suggesting that you eat excess saturated fat. I am simply pointing out that saturated fat in a moderate amount as part of a healthy diet is actually normal. You need adequate DHA Docosahexaenoic acid Essential omega 3 fatty acid integral to the health of all cell membranes, nerve and brain function. Must be gotten through the diet via cold water oceanic fish or some very limited plant sources or taken as a supplement., fiber, components of fruits and vegetables, and a lack of excess sugar to make it a healthy food.
