The Demon Fat
Fat in our modern diets has a lot to answer for:
- It is the major cause of weight problems.
- It is highly implicated in the development of strokes,
heart disease and some cancers.
The average intake of fat in the UK is rising rapidly –
up to 100 grams per person per day. For health we should
be looking at an average of no more than 40 grams per day.
To reduce your daily fat consumption:
- Reduce intake of animal fats e.g. fatty meats, dairy
products
- Increase fruit, vegetables, whole wheat breads, pastas
and brown rice
- Cut out foods with added fats – the typical processed
foods
Reduce fats and you’ll start to look and feel healthier
for life.
