Cholesterol Does A Body Good!

We have been told for the past 50+ years that saturated fats are the main cause of heart disease.  Science has shown us that with saturated fats, it increases our LDL levels (bad cholesterol) and decreases our HDL levels (good cholesterol).  Since this research has come out, we have been a drastic incline in heart disease.  Why do we continue to see this?  What if science back then had it all wrong? We are starting to see science admit they have been wrong.  On a recent show of Dr. Oz, he had a guest who is the author of a book called, “Grain Brain,” and throughout the show, even Dr. Oz, was stating how, after all these years, I had it wrong.  He would tell individuals to stay away from meat, saturated fats and so forth. 

As there is always something bad, there will always be something good.  Since BAD saturated fats increase heart disease, GOOD saturated fats do the opposite.  Here is a list of things you can start consuming today that will boost your heart health plus every other cell in your body.

• Organic Coconut Oil
• Butter (grass-fed, organic milk)
• Avocadoes
• Red Meat (free range, grass-fed, green-finished cows)
• Organic Palm Oil
• Olive Oil (never heat)
• Cholesterol (cage-free, organic fed eggs)

Fats are the primary source that builds our cells.  Fats are what create healthy brains, nervous systems and cardiovascular systems.  Cardiologists, just like Dr. Oz, are realizing what they have been stating about saturated fats isn’t actually how the picture was painted.  Many of them are realizing the benefits of fats help overall health.  So, next time you want to enjoy a fatty meal, just make sure it is on the list of GOOD fats.  Good fats are what help bring up your HDL levels while lowering your LDL levels. 

Until next time, BE well…  LIVE well…  The CHOICE is yours…
