TALKING DIETARY FATS THIS WEEK-

Types of fats and how they affect our health!

Dietary fats are essential to give our bodies energy and to support cell growth. They protect our organs and keep us warm. Fats help the body absorb some nutrients and produce important hormones. Our bodies need fat, but too much fat or too little fat affects our health.

The four major dietary fats in foods we eat are:
1 Saturated fats
2 Trans fats
3 Monounsaturated fats
4 Polyunsaturated fats

Facts about fats:
There are 9 calories in every gram of fat, regardless of the type! Fats are more energy dense than their carbohydrate and protein counterparts. Carbohydrates and protein contain 4 calories per gram. Consuming high levels of calories can lead to weight gain; however, consuming healthy fat helps suppress hunger and stabilize blood sugar.
Consuming high levels of saturated or trans fat can lead to heart disease and stroke. Most western diets are lacking in Omega-3 fatty acids, which area a type of polyunsaturated fat that helps lower bad cholesterol levels and decrease inflammation. Omega-3 fatty acids are also beneficial for your skin, vision, brain and heart.
Side note: We do sale Clinical Omega-3 EPA/DHA at our clinic.

Stretch it out -

Flexibility exercises enhance our range of motion, stability and balance. Stretching exercises are most effective when the muscle is warmed up through light to moderate exercise.

Stretching exercises will take about 10 minutes.

*Stretches should involve all major muscle-tendon groups.
*Hold the stretch for at least 30 seconds.
*Stretches should be challenging, but not painful.
*Repeat each exercise 2-4 times, 2-3 days per week.
*Greater gains in joint range of motion are accrued with daily flexibility exercise.
