Facts about fat

For many people the word fat word annoying and sometimes disgusting, but in fact is the fat from the important nutrients as is the case of proteins and carbohydrates. An important asset of fat:

*
Are concentrated sources of energy, as it provides us with 9 kcal / gram, while carbohydrates and proteins provide us with 4 kcal / gram.
*
Provide us with essential fatty acids, fat (which the body can not composition and must be addressed through food) such as acid Allenolenk which plays an important role in the growth of children.
*
Fat is important for healthy skin
*
Important in regulating the level of cholesterol in the body
*
Important for the production of some hormone-like compounds such as prostglandins which plays an important role in organizing some activities that are vital in the body.
*
Fats are an important source of fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamin A and D and K is, it is also important to help in the absorption of these vitamins from the intestines.
*
Fat helps the body to make the most of the carbohydrates and proteins.
*
The body converts fat into energy use them, and in excess of need are stored in fatty tissue. Some of the fat found in the blood, and the bulk have been stored in fat cells. These groupings of fatty important not only in energy storage, but is important to isolate the body and cushion work in support of the internal organs and thus maintain the temperature of the body and serve to absorb shocks.

Fat consists of three basic elements - as is also the case in carbohydrates - carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, but the fat contains more carbon and hydrogen and oxygen, less carbohydrate, as a result of this difference provides us with greater energy in fat (9 kcal / g fat) of carbohydrates and proteins ( 4 kcal / g carbohydrate).

The bulk of fat gives decompose when three molecules of fatty acids and one molecule of glycerol, and you know this fat Balglesredat Troika. Fat is composed of different types of fatty acids, fatty acids are classified into three main sections, namely: saturated fatty acids and fatty acids, mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids, and describe the number of previous classifications of hydrogen atoms in a series of fatty acids.

In general we can say that the fat containing a high proportion of saturated fatty acids are rigid at room temperature, while the fat containing a high proportion of unsaturated fatty acids are liquid at room temperature are called oils.

On the one hand Tguenipla cholesterol is fat, but that is similar to fat., A vehicle is important for the body of the organism as it exists in the walls of all cells, it is also important for the production of bile.

However, what is the relationship of fat and cholesterol, coronary heart disease?

It has become clear beyond a reasonable doubt that the increase in the amount of fat in the diet intake is an important factor affecting the incidence and development of chronic diseases. Studies show that saturated fatty acids play an important role in raising the level of cholesterol in the blood, which runs the risk of coronary heart disease. That the increase in the amount of cholesterol in the blood leading to the accumulation on the walls of blood vessels, with the passage of time occurs narrowing of blood vessels resulting in hardening of the arteries, which leads to a shortage in the amount of blood flowing through blood vessels

That food is one of the factors leading to the high level of cholesterol in the blood, many experts believe that the impact of food on the high level of cholesterol in the blood is complex, and beyond the food content of cholesterol and fatty acids. And through clinical trials were considered the following factors are variables that can affect the following diets at the level of cholesterol in the blood:

*
Dietary habits
*
Drahp response to viruses
*
Cholesterol level
*
Components of the diet

Genetics play some people a greater role in influencing the level of cholesterol in the blood of dietary intake, meaning that regardless of the amount of fat and cholesterol in dietary intake, then their bodies will produce high amounts of cholesterol can cause heart attacks. Scientists may be able to one day identify the gene responsible for the production of cholesterol in large quantities to these people.

Other factors that influence the level of cholesterol in the blood and out of control as well:

*
Age
*
Strain
*
And sex

However, there is a lot of Alaoml that we can control to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood and protection from a lot of heart disease, such as:

*
Non-smoking cigarettes
*
Control of high blood pressure
*
Maintain appropriate weight
*
Persist in the practice of some sports activities
*
Neural control of the pressure
*
For people with diabetes, controlling blood sugar level is very important

Cholesterol in the blood travels through compounds called lipoproteins (composed of protein and fat) and these compounds are very important as the level of total cholesterol in the blood reflects the level of three types of lipoproteins: the lipoproteins very low density, low-density lipoproteins, and this type associated with most cholesterol in the blood, and finally high-density lipoproteins. Waked and it became clear that low-density proteins are responsible for the deposition of cholesterol on the walls of blood vessels.

In contrast, low-density lipoproteins, is a high-density lipoproteins are very useful, as studies show that the more increased the amount of this type of proteins in the blood, the less chances of developing coronary heart disease. Working high-density lipoproteins to transfer cholesterol from the blood to the liver where there is break down cholesterol and take it out with the bile produced by the gall bladder.

The focus of low-density lipoproteins, is the main crossing on the actual concentration of cholesterol, but since most cholesterol in the blood associated with low-density lipoproteins, we can consider that the total concentration of cholesterol, expression of the practical focus of cholesterol.

Ranging natural concentration of cholesterol in the blood of 150 to 200 mg per 100 ml, and with advancing age, he may rise to 300 mg or more, and can say that if the level exceeded 225 mg cholesterol, the chance of heart disease will increase.

And as a remedy for the high level of cholesterol in the blood, experts advise to resort to diets designed to limit the consumption of saturated fats and cholesterol in addition to weight reduction for those who suffer from excess weight.

It is proposed at the beginning of the implementation of the diet can not exceed the amount of fat more than 30% of the total energy, and saturated fat do not exceed more than 10% of the total energy, and that does not exceed 300 mg cholesterol per day.

If the program does not work during the previous six months in reducing the level of cholesterol in the blood, is reduced by more fat, saturated fat to 7% of the total energy and cholesterol to 200 mg or less per day. If they do not drop the level of dietary cholesterol, are drug treatments as well as to continue to diet food.

Sources of fat and cholesterol:

Are food products of animal origin such as red meat, poultry, fish, milk and milk products and eggs are the main source of fat (58% of the total fat intake) and saturated fat (75% of saturated fat intake). These days, increased reliance on vegetable oils such as soybean oil and sunflower oil .....

In addition to the previous sources are mayonnaise, butter, obesity, cheese, pies, pastries, and some types of sauces.

As for the sources of cholesterol, is found in all animal foods, and be present in large quantities in the internal organs of animals in the egg yolk. The vegetable oils and fats are free of cholesterol.
