Don’t banish fats from your diet

mages37Fats aren’t all bad; in fact, plant based fats are actually powerful cancer fighters! ‘The healthy fats include extra-virgin olive oil, flaxseed oil, and fats from nuts, seeds, avocados, and coconuts’. If you cut off fats from your diet totally, it will result in the non-absorption of many fat-soluble nutrients such as beta carotene, vitamin D, and Vitamin E by the body. These oils also improve one’s cardiovascular health, and fight weight gain. In fact, avoiding them can cause chronic disease. The key is in choosing the right kind of fats for your diet and making sure you don’t overdo them, as they have a very high caloric density. So replace the bad fats in your diet with good fats.
