Fat for brains. Not every fat is your enemy.

Not every fat is your enemy. The food you eat affects your body's reactions and performances. There are two types of fats that I am going to talk about. The first one is saturated fat, which is high in food such as meat, butter, and other animal products. And the second one is unsaturated fat which is high in nuts, vegetable oil, and avocados. Most food that holds fat holds both types of fats. The key to health is to distribute a percentage of your fat intake for each type of fat. Saturated fat in the right amount will not cause any problems, still, a lot of saturated fat in your body may promote some types of cancer and heart disease. A diet that has a big amount of saturated fat can also make you depressed and impair your general mental health. Unsaturated fat makes up most of your fat intake. On the other hand, unsaturated fat is especially high in calories, and it may cause weight problems, so the smart choice is to keep your fat intake low and make sure that most of it comes from unsaturated fat. Moreover, keeping your fat intake low is also dangerous. Fats are so important to the body that they become chemicals called fatty acids that helps your brain and your body to stay physically and mentally sharp. The common fatty acids that the body uses the most are called essential fatty acids. Your meal must contain them because the body cannot make them on its own. There are also omega-3 fatty acids that are also important for the body and more likely brain. They can be used for the proper development of the brain and to continue refreshing themselves with omega 3. North Americans are famous for the way they consume two types of fat very well in their daily life including omega 3. The oils we commonly use in daily life such as corn, sunflower, or safflower oils have almost no omega 3. Using soy and walnut oils, which contain a lot of omegas 3 is healthier, such as the traditional diets of Greece, Italy, and more Mediterranean regions would also be better. As the old saying goes fish is the brain's true food source, such as fatty fish like salmon, and tuna that live in icy/ chilling water and are rich in omega-3 and DHA. Fish has been identified as food for human nerve cells, however, if you do not eat fish, (mostly for vegans), you can get DHA in vegetables, sesame seeds, and egg yolk. Research continues to show that new ways of thinking about fat can open the door to better physical, mental, and emotional health.
