Another useful term to know are fats as they affects our health.

There are various kinds of fats:

1. Fats - composed of glycerol and fatty acids
2. Saturated fats are fats in which the carbon molecules are completely saturated with an external hydrogen cage. Saturated fats are considered to be the BAD fats because they seemto increase cholesterol
3. Unsaturated fats are also called polyunsaturated fats. They are GOOD fats because they don’t seem to increase the cholesterol levels.They give food a distinctive and desired taste
4. Body Fats. An overweight person has a shorter life expectancy and higher disease rate than the average person. It is possible that an obsese person is actually suffering from malnutrition causing abnormal fat storage at the same time if the digestive tract is chronically backed-up. The food in the intestines gets backed-up and prevents the proper absorption of food, while the body is being starved. This starvation triggers the overproduction of fat to compensate for the malnutrition. This is why a cleansing product may be required nutrition for some people.

So what are the foods containing staturated fats and unsaturated fats?

Saturated fats-butter, ghee, vegetable ghee, coconut oil, palm oil, whole milk, cream, sweets prepared in ghee and vegetable ghee, wholemilk preparations, chocolates, cakes, biscuits, wafters, eggs, fat meat, oysters, fish.

Unsaturated fats-olive oil, peanut oil, seasame oil, maize oil, soyabean oil, karadi oil, cottonseed oil, sunflower oil.

We often hear of the term anti-oxidants and free radicals.So what are they?

Free radicals:-

• Let look at free radicals which are actually the bad guy.

• Free radicals are hyperactive cells that want to bind to and react with any cell it comes in contact with. Once bound the free radical can damage the cell it is attached to. This damage can cause an immune response that wants to isolate and eliminate the damage.If the damage is in an artery, the immune system may attempt to surround and eliminate a section of the offending tissue, which can lead to swelling and possibly a blockage of that artery. So it is the effects from free radicals that can cause tissue damage which may lead to premature aging, heart disease, cancer, cataracts, parkinsons, arthritis and other diseases.

Anti-oxidants:

• On the other hand, anti-oxidants are the good guys which prevent free radicals from binding thus preventing damage from beginning.
• They are produced by the body or come from vitamins A,C, or E.
• When they circulate in the blood they become an easy target for free radicals and anti-oxidants provides a good binding site.
• This anti-oxidant, free radical bond hence prevents tissue damage because the potentially damaging free radical is tied up with the anti-oxidant forming a complex that can be eliminated from the body.
• Anti-oxidant therapy is therefore aim at getting free radicals bind with them and not with human tissues.
• A good anti-oxidant supplement can fill the bloodstream with more than enough free radical targets hence allowing the free radicals a harmless place to bind and be eliminated naturally.
