“Nutritionist, my skin is getting drier!”, “Nutritionist, I have eaten a lot of food, but it is still difficult to defecate!” In fact, these seemingly ordinary problems may be inseparable from fat!
When the public asks questions, the nutritionist will start to ask back questions to collect information, but during the process of chatting, they will often hear feedback from the public, “I eat very light!”, “I almost don’t use oil in cooking!” Probably You can feel how terrible fat is in the eyes of the public, but is it really the case?
Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid!Let’s first understand the function of fat
1. Body temperature maintenance: especially in winter, keeping warm is even more important!
2. Protect internal organs: as a buffer to avoid shock.
3. Assist in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (vitamins A, D, E, K): less fat will greatly affect the absorption.
4. Produce hormones in the body: This is why some people may have hormonal imbalances following a long-term fat-free diet.
5. Manufacture vitamin D.
6. Manufacture of bile acid.
7. Provide essential fatty acids: fatty acids that cannot be produced by the body and need to be obtained through food. If they are lacking, they will affect the metabolism in the body.
8. Maintain the nervous system functioning.
9. Maintain the operation of the skin system.
Choose the Right Fat Instead of Eating No Fat
We can ingest three major nutrients in our daily diet, which are carbohydrates, protein, and lipids. In terms of biochemical metabolism in the body, in fact, when the three major nutrients exceed the body’s needs, they may be converted into fat accumulation!
Good fat helps to maintain body functions from the front body, so choosing the right type and taking in the right amount is the key! It is recommended to choose unsaturated fatty acids instead of saturated fatty acids.
Pay attention to fat storage here!
Where is the fat? And what kind of content needs to be particularly worried regarding!
Nothing more than internal organs! Normal physiological functions do help to protect organs, but if the body composition is found to exceed the standard, at this time the organs may be covered with fat and affect physiological functions. For example: Fatty liver becomes fatty liver in the liver, and if it continues to accumulate for a long time, it may lead to liver inflammation or even liver cirrhosis or liver cancer!
Therefore, in addition to paying attention to your own numbers on the scale, don’t ignore body fat and visceral fat!
