5 ‘health foods’ that can backfire
Low-fat and fat-free foods
If you’ve been including fat-free or low-fat foods in your daily diet because you believe fat is bad for you, there’s a good chance that not only have you not seen an improvement in your waistline, but chances are high you’ve been left feeling fat, foggy and forgetful.
The fact of the matter is: The fats you eat give your body the energy it needs to work properly.
They help you absorb and utilize your vitamins, control inflammation and blood clotting and keep your brain functioning optimally.
They’re also responsible for forming the sheath that coats your nerves and spinal cord — protecting them and ensuring that your nervous system relays messages fast and efficiently.
Without enough fats in your diet, your metabolism slows down leaving you to pack on the pounds.
And, at the same time, this lack of fats puts the brakes on your brain and nervous system, causing that awful brain fog, forgetfulness and even depression.
The only fat you should avoid like the plague is trans fats.
