Avatar n tn What are you trying to check the saturated fat in? If you're eating packaged products, check the package label.
Avatar n tn Your body NEEDS fat! Saturated Fat does not make you fat! Real fat, from REAL, UNPROCESSED SOURCES, does not make you fat, it helps your body process the foods you are eating, and actually makes you thinner & healthier. Now, by FAT, I'm not talking about snack foods because that's processed sugars, carbs or trans-fat (not real). I'm talking about real foods like butter, cream, coconut oil, avocadoes, etc...
333672 tn?1273792789 I also want to pose a question to all to think about - The brain is mostly fat but that fat is saturated so why do we need to eat Omega 3 fats which are polyunsaturated? I've been curious for a while about this but not found an answer. Thanks for the link though - its a great thought provoker this one.
Avatar n tn But hemp seeds and flax seeds, while containing some Omega 6 fats, contain high amounts of Omega 3 fats, which are essential for health. Some Omega 6 is also essential for health, as is Omega 9 and other fats.
703362 tn?1427766328 I love them and used to raise my own exotic chickens and enjoy their fresh eggs - boy do I miss them. You can now buy eggs with Omega 3 (or 6?) in it. They feed flax seeds to the chickens and it makes the eggs even more healthier for you.
Avatar f tn While it's true that coconut oil is mostly saturated fat, it's a different type of saturated fat and it's not true that it's "extremely deleterious" to your health. Kristi is right; you don't need very much. Because of the calories contained in ALL fats, common sense tells us to limit the amount of fats we consume, from all sources, on a daily basis. Coconut oil can be used just like any other oil for cooking or frying, in smoothies, shakes or coffee.
Avatar f tn pasta), low fat and substitute dairy products (1% milk, low fat/fat free yogurts, low fat soy milk/soy yogurt), use plant oils, non trans-fat margarines, and eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. Eat daily high fiber breads and cereals (oatmeal). Make sure you eat 3 meals a day with snacks between and you will be able to maintain your weight. Thank you for your question.
63984 tn?1385437939 When research showed Omega 3's/fish oil helped reduce Triglicerides and raised HDL (good cholesterol), my doctor prescribed Lovaza and indeed, my Tri's dropped, my HDL levels elevated. However, Lovaza, a highly refined oil is very expensive. Wanting to cut drug costs, but also wanting to stay away from farmed salmon oils, I did some research, and found a Costco product used fish oil from herring, anchovies, and mackeral, always wild fish.

Avatar n tn Genetics do play a part in cholesterol. Usually when children do have high cholesterol, it is from hereditary origins. Research has shown that it is the quality of fat that makes the difference in lowering cholesterol, not an overall lowering of all fats. It is recommended that all Trans fats and saturated fats are not consumed, but omega-3 fatty acids and monounsaturated fats can be eaten. To break that down simply it means nuts, seeds, and peanut/olive oils can be eaten.
Avatar f tn You are underweight for your height as you stated. You need to consume approximately 2000 calories per day to maintain your weight. Since you are underweight, suggest gaining weight slowly, try to eat a Heart Healthy diet which will give you the nutrients, vitamins and minerals your body needs, and help with possibly preventing future disease states.
Avatar m tn Fish oil pills are an excellent way to raise your HDL and lower LDL due to the high content of the Omege 3 fatty acids that they contain. Anything that has a high Omega 3 content will have this effect, such as flax seed. Most commercial eggs are commonly high in Omega 6 fatty acids due to the fact that they are raised in cages and eat the seeds of plants that have a high Omega 6 content. Omega 6 fatty acids have the effect of raising LDL levels in the blood.
Avatar m tn The treatment in the form of fibrates and omega 3 fatty acid against prescription are also quiet effective in lowering triglycerides. If these levels do not come down then even addition of other class of drugs like nicotinic acid can be considered only on prescription by a physician. You need to take all the mentioned precautionary steps as you are at high risk for stroke and heart attack as compared to normal population.
1291107 tn?1272202031 I take coconut oil pretty frequently and I know it is full of saturated fat. I know that saturated fat can cause heart disease by increasing my cholesterol. I've heard that coconut oil has tons of benefits though and it will not raise by bad cholesterol. I was reading from the Mayo Clinic and it said that coconut oil/saturated fat can cause higher cholesterol. There are so many different opinions. I've been feeling great and I think that taking coconut oil has a lot to do with it.
Avatar f tn Eat lean sources of protein, such as beef, pork, white-meat chicken and fish. Beans, eggs, nuts, seeds, tofu and low-fat dairy foods are nutritious sources of protein as well. Too much protein can cause dehydration and calcium loss. Healthy unsaturated fats supply you with long lasting energy to play sports. Eat avocados, salmon, walnuts and olive oil to ensure that you consume plenty of healthy fats, such as omega-3 fatty acids.
Avatar n tn We know that omega-3 fatty acids lower levels of triglycerides, a type of fat in the bloodstream. Experts are not exactly sure how. Omega-3 fatty acids may also slow down the growth of plaques inthe arteries and prevent blood clots. There are a number of small studies that show that walnuts help lower cholesterol. One 2004 study of 58 adults with diabetes looked at the effects of eating a handful of walnuts each day in addition to a healthy diet.
Avatar m tn , whole grains,fruits and vegetables with adequate good quality protein and omega 3 oils.Vanaspati , margarine, bakery foods,processed/packaged foods, maida, white rice should be avoided.Sugar should be minimized.If you are diabetic, eat only water melon and papaya.Avoid root vegetables.Eat foods rich in potassium.Use low sodium salt in small quantity.Avoid normal salt. Doctors do not give anything that boosts the strength and immunity of a patient.They are dead against nutrition.
Avatar m tn The best sources of fats are olive oil, canola oil, flaxseed oil, corn oil, omega 3 fatty acids (often taken as supplements), soybean oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, corn oil, and salmon, trout, and all cold water fish are great sources. Nuts and seed contain excellent sourses of the good fats just be sure with portion size.
Avatar m tn Quite a complex topic this but at the same time an interesting one. Omega 3 isn't just one substance, Omega three are fatty acids just like Omega 6 fatty acids found in oils and meat etc. Omega 3 are EPA, DHA, and ALA . Some experts have said that the balance between Omega 6 fatty acids and Omega 3 is key, but just as many say this is nonsense. Omega 3 do have benefits, mainly reducing inflammation in the body, such as in the arteries or joints.
Avatar n tn Good post cholecystectomy foods include beets, cucumbers, okra, sweet potatoes, avocadoes, acidic foods, and foods high in Omega-3 fatty acids. Foods to be avoided after gallbladder surgery include trans fats, saturated fats, dairy, eggs, coffee and black tea, most fruit juices, alcohol, chocolate, cabbage, and radishes. (Graefer 2007) According to one study (Porr et al. 2004), some cases of post cholecystectomy syndrome are caused by magnesium deficiency.
Avatar m tn You need approximately 2500-3000 calories per day which is spread across 3 meals a day with snacks between meals. Moderate fat diet means = use polyunsaturated (omega 3, corn oil, nuts, etc) fats and monounsaturated (olive oil, canola oil, peanut oil, etc) fats, no saturated fats (high fat snack foods, butter, fat spreads) and no trans fats.

Avatar f tn You should be taking omega 3 in any case. Statins, by lowering cholesterol, also interfere with the absorption of fat soluble nutrients, which of course includes omega 3. The most important for the heart is EFA, which is found in largest amounts in fish oil, but flax and hemp oil are also very high in omega 3 oils. But omega 3 oils don't do the same thing as statins. Statins lower LDL cholesterol, the bad kind, whereas omega 3 oils provide the good kind of cholesterol, HDL.
Avatar f tn Try fiber rich diet and eliminate oil especially saturated fat. Eat Omega-3 rich foot while eliminating red meat and diary products. Concentrate on fruits and salads.
