When Fat is Phat Navigation: Main page » Self-Improvement.com: Nutrition The Negative Calorie Diet (tm) Author: Julia Kalish Article source: http://www.unlimitedgrowthpotential.com/. Used with author's permission. phat (f t) adj. Slang phat•ter, phat•test Excellentfirst-rate: phat fashiona phat rapper. Want to increase your overall health and energy level? Interested in preventing heart disease, cancer, depression, and Alzheimer's? Or perhaps you'd like to treat rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, ulcerative colitis, or Raynaud's disease? If you answered yes to any of these, then get fat! No, I don't mean "get fat" as in "get bigger!" I mean stop thinking that all fat is bad for you, and start including healthy "phat" fats in your diet! Healthy fats, more commonly called "omega-3s," are essential fats - "essential" means that, unlike many other fats, your body cannot create omega-3s. In other words, you have to eat them if you want to be healthy! Excellent Fats? So what makes these omega-3 fats so phat? Read on!
Where O' Where Can I Find This Wonderful Fat? Hopefully one or more of these benefits have convinced you to get fat. So where can one find these awesome omega-3s? Here are just a few excellent sources:
With A Little Help from My Friends Although omega 3s truly are amazing, they do need some help in performing all these incredible feats. To get the most from your omega 3s, be sure to eat foods that are also rich in vitamins E, C, B3, B6, and beta carotene, as well as magnesium and zinc. Best bets? Vegetables, fruits, and whole grains are the way to go! One More Thing - Omega-3 Has a Cousin The other essential fat your body needs is omega-6, commonly found in meats and vegetable oils. Most Americans have a lot of omega-6 and just a little omega-3 in their bodies. The important thing is to have both in your diet. Once you've caught up on your omega-3s (the quickest way is to take 1 to 3 teaspoons of fish or flaxseed oil daily for several months), balance your intake of high omega- 6 and omega-3 containing foods accordingly and supplement as needed. For most people, this means increasing intake of omega-3 on a regular basis. So what are you waiting for? Get fat!
