However, since fats are very high in calories, it is important toright fatsBecause not all fats are created equal. There are different fatty acids that have different values for the body. Fatty acids differ according to their degree of saturation. They are composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms.
Saturated fatty acids
If there is no double bond between the carbon atoms, it is calledsaturated fatty acidsThey are characterized by their low reactivity and can therefore quickly accumulate as fat deposits on the stomach and hips. Saturated fatty acids are found primarily inanimal products such as meat, cheese or butter. Increased intake of saturated fatty acids, in turn, increases blood lipid levels and cholesterol levels rise to unhealthy levels.
Monounsaturated fatty acids
If there is a double bond between the carbon atoms, it is a so-calledmonounsaturated fatty acidsThese are more sociable than saturated fatty acids and can help improve blood cholesterol levels. Monounsaturated fatty acids are mainly found invegetable oilsavailable.
Polyunsaturated fatty acids
The last fatty acid category consists of thepolyunsaturated fatty acidsThey have multiple double bonds between the carbon atoms. Unlike other fatty acids, these cannot be produced by the body itself, so they must be ingested with food. Among the best-known polyunsaturated fatty acids areOmega-3 fatty acidsThey are found in linseed, rapeseed, walnut or soybean oil, nuts and seeds, but also in cold-water fish such as salmon or tuna.Omega-6 fatty acidscan be found in sunflower, pumpkin seed, corn germ, or safflower oil. Omega fatty acids are necessary for the formation of cell structures, for the construction of transport units, and for the production of signaling substances. At the same time, they reduceBlood lipid levelsand thatRisk of cardiovascular diseasedecreases significantly. Medicom's proven products contain high-quality omega-3 fatty acids, such as krill oil.
