In the current focus on low-fat foods and the dangers of cholesterol, it is important to remember that the body needs a certain amount of some kinds of fat. Natural fats provide a concentrated form of energy and create the environment in which fat soluble vitamins, such as A and E can be digested. They also provide essential fatty acids which body uses to maintain its cellular structure. Here are some forms in which fat can be useful to your body:
1. Cod liver oil: Contains EPAs that covert into chemicals that protect your heart.
2. Evening primrose oil: Available in health food stores, this substance also contains EPAs, including gamma-linoleic, which lowers cholesterol and blood pressure, heals eczema, eases hangovers and premenstrual tension, and also helps to control weight.
3. Olive oil: It lowers LDL cholesterol without affecting HDL cholesterol. It is known as a monounsaturated fat. The best olive oil is extra-virgin and hand –pressed.
4. Polyunsaturated fats, such as sunflower seed oil and sesame seed oil: Again, these also lower HDL cholesterol. They are also more susceptible to turning rancid than olive oil.
