Fat has rather
wrongly been given a bad name; hence the huge range of low fat products
available. But not all cholesterol is unhealthy. These can be found in oily
fish such as salmon and mackerel, and nuts, seeds and their oils. Even the
'bad' saturated F found in dairy foods and meat are necessary in moderation to
keep us healthy. Saturated fat only becomes harmful if eaten in excess when
they can cause serious health problems including obesity, strokes and
cardiovascular disease.
By far the big baddy when it comes to cholesterol are
hydrogenated or Tran’s, which are found in many processed foods such as
biscuits, cakes and margarines. These are artificial and have been linked to
heart problems, obesity and diabetes. Fortunately, awareness of the negative
effect these fats have on our health is growing and some countries and
manufacturers have banned them, although they are yet to be banned in the UK.
"Needn't" foods are high in or added sugars, prepared using a high-fat
cooking method such as frying, or have a large amount of energy compared to
their essential nutrient content.
Avoiding cholesterol
entirely in your diet isn't necessarily a good idea. However, reducing
consumption of "bad" fats through better choices can make substantial
improvements in your health. Some of the following tips can help. Exercise may
not be enough when you need to burn belly. Belly fat is the toughest to lose
on your body. A variety of things influence belly, including stress. Stress is
one of the biggest factors, but some foods you eat increase this type of fat as
well. Before you continue to indulge in the bad stuff, here are 6 foods to
avoid when trying to burn belly.
One of your favorite snacks may be giving you belly fat.
Most potato chip brands are cooked in hydrogenated oils. This type of oil is
called a Trans. Trans is known to increase cholesterol, contribute to
heart disease and increase weight. Chips that don't contain hydrogenated oil
may have high amounts of fat from other oils they're fried in. There are baked
and low potato chips on the market that make better
choices. However, be aware of the calorie count. High calories still contribute
to belly. With a coffee shop on nearly every street corner, it is easy to get
our daily caffeine fix but your latte habit won't be doing your intake
any favors. A large latte can contain nearly one third of a woman's daily
recommended intake. Cappuccinos are slightly more saintly
as they are made with a smaller amount of milk. Frappes and hot chocolate can
also score highly in the stakes - a large hot chocolate made with whole
milk can have the same content as three hot dogs.
It is essential
for everyone to follow a healthy diet routine. India Food Network is a website
that provides a wide array of healthy recipes, cooking tips and much more.
Avoid the junk food and stay healthy.
