Importance Of Healthy Fats:

 


↳ Energy Production:

Fats are a concentrated source of energy, providing calories for bodily functions. 


↳ Cholesterol Regulation:

Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats help lower "bad" LDL cholesterol and raise "good" HDL cholesterol. 


↳ Reduced Inflammation:

Unsaturated fats have anti-inflammatory properties, contributing to a healthier inflammatory response. 


↳ Satiety:

Fats contribute to feelings of fullness after eating, which can aid in weight management. 


↳ Heart Health:

By improving cholesterol levels and reducing inflammation, healthy fats lower the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and atherosclerosis (narrowing of arteries).


↳ Brain and Nerve Function:

They support brain cell membranes and facilitate communication between neurons, supporting mental and neurological health.


↳ Cell Health:

Healthy fats are components of cell membranes, maintaining their structure and fluidity for proper cell communication. 


↳ Vitamin Absorption:

They are crucial for absorbing fat-soluble vitamins—A, D, E, and K—which the body cannot absorb on its own.

Lovingly Remembering Ian K Morton

Image
The Official Eulogy — Lovingly Remembering Ian K Morton on the 2 year anniversary of his last normal day. The first time I saw Ian was August 3, 1993 when I was moving into an apartment building he lived at in Lendrum (Edmonton). Yep, he was a gorgeous man ! My dad looked up at him (he was on his balcony) and said "keep your eyes off my daughter!" On the 6th, Ian introduced himself to me and insisted we have rib-eye-steak that he would do up on his bbq. I accepted. One thing led to another , and along came Ryan the following September. The following April 15, 1995, we got married. He lovingly raised Sara as his own daughter as she faced abandonment from her biological father after I divorced him for domestic violence. Ian was born in Calgary Alberta on July 20, 1967. He was born 3 months pre-mature at 2 lbs, 2 oz. Shortly after birth, he lost half his weight. Doctors kept him in an incubator and administered medication to his little fragile body for 2 months. Then after many ...

Benefits of Fiber

Image
When you eat, your body breaks food down to get the nutrients it's going to use. Fiber does not; but there is an important reason why... There are two types of fiber: Soluble and Insoluble.   Soluble fiber attracts water to your gut, then it forms a gel-like material as it passes through. When it reaches the large intestine, it becomes fermented which improves digestive health (healthy gut).   Insoluble fiber does not dissolve in fluids; it stays intact as it travels throughout your body, helping food pass through the stomach and intestines easily. This regulates your stools.  The benefits of fiber are: Heart health : Fiber helps lower cholesterol and may help prevents / controls high blood pressure. Cancer prevention : Dietary fiber intake reduces risk for colorectal cancer and breast cancer as well as other cancers. Diabetes : Fiber reduces risk of diabetes by regulating blood sugar levels. Longevity : Physicians believe that a high fiber supports quality...
