There are different kinds of fats and oils that we need to understand because there are healthy fats and oils and unhealthy ones.
Take-away-food is the number one choice when young people think of food. This reliance on fast food is common because young people do not want to take the initiative and effort to eat a balanced diet before they rush off to do something else.
The hectic lifestyle leads to young people consuming huge amounts of fast food because it is convenient. Let us face it, we want to eat fast food all day and every day because it is quick and we do not have to lift a finger to prepare the food. However, that exposes us to the deep fried food that can leave us feeling as if we have consumed gallons of oil after eating the greasy plate of food.
A leaf of lettuce in a bugger does not change the fact that the rest of the food has been deep-fried in oils that might not be healthy.
However, not all fats and oils are bad, we just need to know the correct ones to consume and also do it in moderation to promote healthy living.
The good fats and oils are from natural products such as olive oil extracted from olives and coconut oil that is found in coconut. These are among the natural good oils and fats and we also have omega 3 and 6 fats found in fish, avocados and nuts.
I must say, nothing else in this world beats a natural product, it is the best thing you can ever do for your body. We need to try to eat the good fats and oil and I have also found that cooking with those healthy fats and oils is a great lifestyle.
I know that we all get tempted, but let us focus on the end goal and the importance of healthy living.
