FOUR WAYS TO GET GOOD FATS

Replace saturated fats with unsaturated fats as part of a healthy eating pattern.

Unsaturated fats can help lower bad cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and they provide essential nutrients your bocy needs. Here are four easy and delicious ways to get more of the good fats.

FISHY FISH FISH-DA

Eat fish at least twice a week. Choose fatty or oily fish like albacore tuna, herring, lake trout, mackerel, sardines and salmon to get essential omega-3 fatty acids.

BE NUTTY, ANG MGA MANI!

Munch on a small handful (about 1 oz.) of unsalted nuts and seeds for good fats, energy, protein and fiber. Good choices include almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts, pistachios, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and walnuts.

ADD THAT AVOCADO

Snack, cook and bake with avocado to add healthy fats, fiber and essential vitamins and minerals.

CHECK THE OILS

Use cooking and dressing oils that are lower in
saturated fat. Good choices include avocado, canola, corn, grapeseed, olive, peanut, safflower, sesame, soybean and sunflower oils.

A Tale of Two Meals

Ano nga ba ang tunay na nakakapagpataba sa atin, ang fats o ang carbs? Curious ka rin ba, momsh? Naku, kami rin! Kaya alamin natin yan dito! 👇 #ataleoftwomeals #fatsvscarbs #baconorbagel

What’s Really Making You Fat? Fats or Carbs?

Imagine that it’s time for breakfast. You have 2 choices: a plate of Bacon & Eggs or a Bagel with Low-Fat Cream Cheese.

Which one will make you fatter? Think it’s the Bacon & Eggs? Wrong!

Bacon & Eggs ➡️ Fat

Fat doesn’t start breaking down as quickly as other foods. It takes a long time to digest. Your body dissolves the fat into droplets, then into fatty acids and glycerol. There’s no dramatic blood-glucose spike, and no insulin spike. Without an insulin spike, fatty acids aren’t trapped in your fat cells. What happens to the fatty acids? Some are used for energy and some are distributed and stored.

Bagel with Low-Fat Cream Cheese ➡️ Carbs

Carbs in your stomach digest faster than most other nutrients. It is used for energy are digested, flooding your bloodstream with glucose. Your body rapidly secretes insulin, which signals your body to store fat in 2 ways: Insulin tells your fat cells to pull in fat from the bloodstream, making you fatter. Second, insulin tells your fat cells to prevent fatty acids from leaving, preventing you from becoming leaner. Your body hangs on to all the fat it can find.

So you see, eating that bacon doesn’t make you fat. But eating a bagel full of carbs tells your body to keep storing more fat, making you fatter. Now, which would you choose?

Ayan bes, hindi naman pala nakakataba ang pagkain ng bacon kundi ang bagel. Carbs naman pala ang tunay na salarin sa ating pagtaba! Ngayon alam na natin. Kaya minimize na natin ang pagkain ng carbs. Go for the #fitnessgoals! Push natin ‘yan! 🙌
