A healthy diet can help you lose weight, lower your cholesterol level, and keeps your body at a good physical condition when combined with exercise. Eating healthy doesn't mean you can't eat the food you love, instead of that it makes you feel great and avoid healthy problems. There are several tips for eating healthier.
There are two different types of fat one is saturated fat, the other one is unsaturated fat. Saturated fat usually at solid state in room temperature and have high boiling point. This unhealthy fat not only let your gain extra weight but also increase your risk of heart and artery disease. In our daily life, saturated fat normally present in cheese, butter, and meat. Unsaturated fat, like olive oil and canola oil, is a healthier fat and less compact than the former one. It usually present in liquid state in room temperature and have low boiling point. Essential fat, a fat is necessary for your body but you cannot produce this fat by yourself, is part of unsaturated fat includes omega-3 and omega-6 which are usually present in fish. In short, you should replace red meat like pork, beef and lamb with white meat like fish in meal and eat less cheese and milk product.Intake more fiber
Fiber is essential for your body since it is responsible for a healthy cholesterol content in your blood.
Bile is made by cholesterol molecules and be excreted into intestine aids digestion, high fiber content can combined with more cholesterols and take them out of your body with feces. On the contrary, less fiber diet will cause you have higher cholesterol content in blood and cause many diseases.
Drink less alcohol
Alcohol contains 7 calories per milliliter is higher than protein and sugar but a little bit less than fat which means is will increase your weight easily. Alcohol is mainly digested by liver, when drinking too much alcohol liver is overwhelmed by alcohol and cannot distribute enough fatty acids to blood stream and caused fatty liver.
It's interesting to figure out the difference between liquid fats and solid fats. I knew about the things like red meats, but never knew so many things had saturated fat in them.
