Your heart then has a tougher job of pumping blood to the rest of your
body which increases your blood pressure.
Your heart may also increase in size to force the blood through your
arteries causing angina a condition known as enlargement of the
heart. Through blood pressure increase comes kidney damage and
damage to the smaller capillaries in your eyes causing eventual
reduction in eyesight and possible blindness if blood pressure is not
controlled.
Trans fatty acids are amongst the worst kind of fat to have in high
quantities in your diet. Fats or oils that have partial hydrogenation are
more than likely to be Trans fatty. This type of fat lowers the amount
of healthy cholesterol (HDL – high density lipoproteins) which throws
the system out of balance by increasing the amount of bad cholesterol
present.
Good Fats
In their basic building block form they are simply known as
monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. They play several
important roles in hormone production and help to aid in proper cell
function.
These types of fats contain Omega-3 fatty acids, fish is a source rich in
this fat. Omega-3 has been known to reduce the risk of heart disease,
diabetes, high blood pressure and stroke. If you want to preserve
your health for the long term then you should make fish and fish oils a
regular part of your diet.
If embarking on a diet low in fat the positives are that less fat
consumed, less fat stored on your body. You are still able to eat many
of the foods you enjoy without the restrictions of the Atkins or low
carb diets. You get to have a balance in your diet. Simply restricting
foods high in bad fats from your eating plan means you get to eat a
wide variety of foods just avoiding the high fat versions.
