Apart from the presence of strong evidence supporting the theory that there is a deep relation between a diet being high in saturated fats and heart diseases there is no solid proof to it. But to avoid a heart attack, prevent its factors, and live a healthy life, the decisions and choices are needed to be made considering the knowledge available in science today.
Quite a lot of studies say that intake of too many fats are not healthy for anyone; saturated ones especially. A few doctors and professional might argue on this logic but I bet that not anyone of them would say that cutting their intake would be harmful. So why not make this little change in our diet plans and increase a few years of life.
Limiting the consumption of cholesterol and fats is very essential for a healthy heart and there are many ways to accomplish this. Do not eat more then 3 to 4 eggs a week or may be less then that since they are high on cholesterol. Even change your milk to skimmed or low fat. Cream substitutes and whipped toppings need to be avoided since coconut oil is mostly present in them; it is a lot more saturated then butter.
Do not stew or fry meat because this cooking practice does nothing but increase the presence of fats in the processed food. Avoid hard processed cheese and start using yogurt, ricotta, pot cheese, farmer cheese or cottage cheese as substitutes. Make sure when you choose poultry, you pick up younger and smaller birds as they are a lot low at fats or just go with fish instead, that would be the best.
A healthy human body does needs fat as well so it should be present in our diet in a limited range. This fat helps the body in absorbing fat-soluble vitamins along with producing vital fatty acids that our body needs in limited amounts. Whenever you would buy canned or packaged food make sure that you go through the amount of fat content it has. Sometimes the label says fat-free on many items but this does not mean they are a hundred percent fat-free, there is always 0 to 0.5 grams of fat in there.
Just by making some minor changes to your diet you would assure yourself a longer and a healthier life, so what' the harm in that? Nothing!
