The True Health Enemies

Fats and sugars place major strain on the endocrine system. So what's an endoctrine system you ask? Well it's the body's system that consists of the endocrine glands and functions which regulates the body's activities. Trust me, that's not something you want to mess up regularily.

This can and does seriously affect your physical health. You need to understand why sugar and fats are the enemy and what makes them so bad. As soon as you learn the truth, it'll be easier to stay away from these health enemies.

It is commonly believed that all bad fats come from animals. This is false.

Animal fat can truely get a bad rap, but the truth is that some of the worst fats come from plantsl. It's well known that food companies want to make as much money as possible by selling to consumers. Don't we all? The way they do it is a bit on the shady side though.

To accomplish this they use cheap ingredients. They need to make it taste good to sell it, and it must have a long shelf life too.

Fats are the best way to accomplish this, both in flavor and in shelf life prolonging the life of the processed food and adding more flavor to it. Did you know that deli meat, canned soups, and many other products are loaded with sugar too?

Twenty percent of the common American's diet is now sugar and it's not even a food group! This much sugar creates all sorts of problems in the human body.

The 3 Types of Fats are:

  1. Saturated

  2. Unsaturated

  3. Trans fats
Saturated fats come from animals and become solid at room temperature. They contain triglycerides which are harmful when in the blood and can cause a multitude of diseases. Polyunsaturated and Monounsaturated are both kinds of unsaturated fats. The types of fats are always liquid when present in room temperature.

They contain what's known as phospholipids which are your essential fatty acids. EFAs are needed for brain and body functions. Yep, they help you think straight!

They also help to product hormones in the body that are vital to each individual.Trans fats are the most common and were created by mankind. They were invented to increase the life of processed foods.

A Little History:

In 1977 the average US Citizen consumed an average of 18% fat. Ten years later in 1987, the average fat consumption went up to 28%!

Recent studies show that average American eats a shocking 38% fat! So how much saturated and Trans fats are ok to consume? None! Unsaturated fats are the only kind that a acceptable and that number should not go over 20%.Tip of the DayBefore you buy something at the grocery check the label for Saturated and Trans Fats.

Unsaturated fats are what your body really needs and will keep you slim and healthy.

Here are a few companies/individuals that have some great methods for shedding pounds of fat off your body. I recomend taking a look at each, doing a comparison to see which method suites you best:

Among many antioxidants, the most researched and best known for skincare and treating scars is Vitamin E.

This product has been recommended by professional doctors and pharmacists all around the world. Vitamin E is best in its

natural state. The reason behind this is because Natural Vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol) has 36% MORE biological activity than

the synthetic version, hence it works better at treating scars.

Go for serum or creams which shows very high concentration of natural Vitamin E as the ingredient. Make sure they are no

chemical substitute which may cause unwanted side effects.

One of my suggested product is NATUR E Scar serum. It contains 28000 iu of Vitamin E and it is all natural. The product has

worked so well for me! Do give it a try. You can find it at www.scarremovaltreatment.net.
