Fat is in the air! Between all those luring pastries, pizzas, and along with our desire to be slime trim, our life goes roundabout. So, what should be chosen between the two? Both. Food and a sound body posture both are our fantasies. But for a lean body, do you have to sacrifice with your surging mouth secretions tempted by that sumptuous food. No, not really. Being a nutrition student, my study says that no food is bad, and desires are never meant to be killed! It is the time, portion size, and frequency of consumption that makes all the difference!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eating calories when the body needs a maximum of them like after heavy work is no harm. For example, eating a slice of pizza (which gives approx.200kcal) after a half-hour exercise which includes playing sports like a friendly match, digging, swimming or speed cycling (that burns calories at the rate of 6kcal\/min) is no harm since our body uses carbs to replenish our stores. Does this mean eating pizza daily will give no harm? It will. This simple slice of pizza is nothing but a loaf of empty calories that will soon make you starve again. So, you end up eating much more than your body could even bear. All are making a vicious cycle of binge eating you could never come off. Hold on\u2026show some emotional intelligence and courtesy towards your body. It is always advised to make some habit of eating traditional and seasonal foods with family and friends. Eating with family and friends helps to eat less against eating fast food alone containing highly processed sucrose. That is why, for several years, Japan has held the longest life expectancy due to its culture, giving importance to traditionally healthy food against fast food. It has also become a common trend that is getting fitness freak we tend to cut down all the fat from our diet. All this seems as if fat is the biggest enemy of our life. But contrary to all your myths, fats are considered equally important as proteins, the building blocks of our body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No nutrient gives as much satiety as fat does. They help us survive during extreme cases of stress, sickness, and prolonged starvation. In severe cases, humans can fast and survive for 60-90 days, and obese persons can stay longer than this. According to the Recommended Dietary Allowance by ICMR,20-25 percent of energy must come from fats alone daily. Fats are the only medium for absorption of all the fat-soluble vitamins-A, D, E, and K. So why shun this vital nutrient and go on a bland diet and doing a crime with yourself. There must be a balance between our energy intake and expenditure. Having a positive energy balance due to excessive overeating will make you fat. Animal fat (egg-milk), oils (containing MUFA and PUFA), are essential for our bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will be surprised to know that eating 1teaspoon of ghee\/day is considered to be healthy. Only Trans-fat is the kind that is considered to be bad. It is made by converting unsaturated fat into saturated fat by hydrogenation. This is because our body finds it difficult to digest, so it plagues our arteries’ inner walls and creates a mess to our body. Most processed foods, cakes, biscuits, pizza, burgers have this fat. But eating them once in a month is no harm either. Also, deep-fried homemade pakoras, purees are better since the oil is not reused (reusing oil oxidizes fat and makes it toxic), So just change the way you eat. Do health in the right way. Never ban fat. Happy eating!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
