Description
***TUESDAY NOVEMBER 9th, 2010 AT 9:30 AM ***30 MINUTE WEEKLY SHOW*** Saturated fat plays a key role in cardiovascular health. Saturated fat is required for calcium to be effectively incorporated into bone. Saturated fat has been shown to protect the liver from alcohol and medications, including acetaminophen and other drugs commonly used for pain and arthritis. For proper function, the air spaces of the lungs have to be coated with a thin layer of lung surfactant. The fat content of lung surfactant is 100 percent saturated fatty acids. Your brain is mainly made of fat and cholesterol. The lion’s share of the fatty acids in the brain are actually saturated. A diet that skimps on healthy saturated fats robs your brain of the raw materials it needs to function optimally. Certain saturated fats, particularly those found in butter, lard, coconut oil, and palm oil, function directly as signaling messengers that influence metabolism, including such critical jobs as the appropriate release of insulin. Saturated fats found in butter and coconut oil (myristic acid and lauric acid) play key roles in immune health. Loss of sufficient saturated fatty acids in white blood cells hampers their ability to recognize and destroy foreign invaders, such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi.***THANKS*** To Holistic Health Coach Angelle Batten of www.NourishMD.com + www.facebook.com/nourishmd ***ADDITIONAL INFO: www.timeoutmom.blogspot.com www.facebook.com/timeoutmom***
