Fats

I have been reading a lot about Fats the last few days in the "Nourishing Traditions" book---The image below pretty much sums up which fats to consume and which to avoid.

The funny thing about fat is that people think if you eat it, you will become fat. People don't realize how important it is for brain function and cardiovascular health to eat the good fats. Fats actually take longer to digest and keep you fuller for longer periods of time. Sugar and carbs are quickly and easily transferred to energy in the body, but excess is stored as fat in the body.

There is a lot more fascinating information about the important a of good fats and cholesterol in the "Nourishing Traditions" cook book! Along with how to properly prepare foods and much more great information. Be sure to check it out!
