Uncovering the World of Fats

Fats play a crucial role in our body, however they should be consumed in moderation. Fat consumption should represent around 30% of the daily energy value. Let's explore the different types of fats and how we can make more conscious food choices to promote health.

The Importance of Fats:

Some fats provide essential fatty acids, which are vital for our body's functions because it is unable to produce them naturally. Sources of this type of fat include fatty fish, oilseed fruits, seeds and avocado. Furthermore, fats serve as a vehicle for fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K), contributing to the regulation of intestinal transit and appetite control.

However, excessive fat consumption can have serious consequences, such as an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, obesity and complications such as high blood pressure and cancer.

Exploring the various types of fat:

5. Hydrogenated and Trans Fats: Harmful to cardiovascular health, present in processed and ready-to-eat foods and margarines. Associated with increased LDL cholesterol.
6. Cholesterol: Present only in products of animal origin, such as fatty cheeses and egg yolks. Excessive consumption increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.
