Diet Sluggish?
Time for an oil change!
Feeling
a little out of kilter these days? Rusty parts?
Experiencing unsightly mineral deposits? Perhaps it's
time for an oil change!
Although
fat is a necessary part of our diet, certain oils that
contain a whopping portion of saturated fat don't have
to be. But with so many choices on the market
these days, which oils are the healthiest for our bodies?
We've prepared a naughty and nice oil list below to
help with your choices.
Oil the
Bad Oils - Tips for reducing the bad fats.
This Tropical
Oil Duo is among the unhealthiest of oils: coconut
and palm. Both are popular in the popcorn you may enjoy
at that next double feature at the movies.
Both are
high in saturated fats with super artery-clogging abilities.
Fat Reduction
Tip: Enjoy a few Gummy Bears at the movies or at minimum,
go light on the butter if you must have popcorn. And
it doesn't hurt to ask the theater which type of oils
they use. If their brand of oil turns out tropical,
suggest a healthier alternative to the manager in a
constructive manner.
When choosing
oils, look for those high in monosaturated fat which
may raise levels of protective HDL cholesterol.
