Sorry, I have not been writing or started anything earlier. Guess I should give you some information.
FINDING THE RIGHT BALANCE of food is important to the quality of our lives. In a balance diet, the contribution of fat to total energy should not be more than 25-30% and most of this should come from unsaturated, rather than saturated fats. Most energy should come from food high in carbohydrates (60%) and a moderate amount from food high in protein (15%).
If you are trying to keep a health and fit lifestyle, you need to reduce your fat intake. However, this doesn’t mean that all fats should be removed from the diet in total as they are essential to our health. One of their many functions is to provide a vehicle for the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K, they also promote healthy blood, nerves, muscles and skin. Certain fats are also essential for children’s growth.
However, a diet that is relatively low in fat is important for good health. All fats should be eaten sparingly, but there are some that make healthier choices than others. The best choice is polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, which actually lower blood cholesterol levels and are found in fish, seeds, wholegrain, nuts, vegetable oils and selected animal fats. Polyunsaturated fats are also a source of essential fatty acids known as omega-3 and omega-6 fats.
