Did You Know?
To help your body gain the benifits of the good fats, it is important to balance your intake;
reduce the fat in your diet to around 20% of your total calorie intake (50 grams or less),
then split this down as follows: 4% Omega 6, 3% Omega 3, 7% monounsaturated and 6% satutated.
Mono and Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Food Supplements
Despite the bad press that `fat' has received over recent years, our bodies need specific fats because they are essential to the function of every human cell. These 'good' fats provide essential fatty acids (EFAs), which the body cannot manufacture and must therefore, obtain from dietary sources. This dietary supplement uses safflower oil to supply oleic, linoleic and linolenic acids, to complement your diet and top-up your body's daily requirements for EFAs.
Identifying Your Needs
So what was all the bad press about then?
The media bombarded us with the health risks associated with a high-fat diet - too much fat clogs up arteries, causing heart disease and high blood pressure; creates digestive distress and a sluggish system. Then we learned about the problems associated with too little fat and fat-excluding diets, which could cause joint stiffness and poor skin quality.
Which fats are good and which are bad?
Simply remember two words: saturated fat versus unsaturated fat. Saturated fat is solid at room temperature; it comes from animals (meat, cheeses, eggs etc) and Palm Kernel Oil.
These fats are not essential and are the type that encourage free radical damage, they should be kept
to a minimum. The more solid (saturated) a fat is, the more difficulty your body has digesting it, and because
of this, it is more likely to be deposited and stored! Unsaturated fats include the essential fats your body
uses to keep you warm, insulate nerve cells, balance hormones and keep your skin soft and supple.
From here it gets a little more complicated: the unsaturated fats fall into two main groups - mono and polyunsaturated
fats. Polyunsaturated fats split down into two further groups: Omega 3 (alpha linolenic acid) and Omega 6
(linoleic acid) essential fatty acids.
Why your body needs monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats?
Much of the fat we eat is of the bad 'saturated' type, and includes hydrogenated oils which have been over-processed leaving them with no nutritional value. Various products, such as margarine, contain damaged polyunsaturates, known as 'trans-fats'.
Consuming too much of these bad fats interfere with the body's uptake of unsaturated fat. It is now recognised that the typical western diet frequently leaves us short of these essential fats which are so important to our well-being. Health professionals now recommend that we consider supplementing our diet with a quality product, such as Unsaturated Fatty Acid Capsules, and benefit from the positive properties of the essential unsaturated fatty acids.
How will your weight control efforts benefit?
Cutting down on the bad fats will leave your body with less fat to store and reduce the interference bad fats cause to the uptake of good fats. Your body can now make better use of the essential fats that are available. Formula 4 provides a daily supply in capsule form of these valuable and beneficial fats.
