Before I talk about the fascinating topic of the heart & heart disease
I would like to say a few words regarding our diet.
Have you ever wondered why slimmers constantly jump from diet to diet, full of good intentions, lose 5 lbs, then ultimately put back on more weight than they've lost?
Could it be that they've been fed a few myths regarding sticking to low-fat or low-calorie diets?
Surprising to some people is that our diet should consist of around 30% fat.......
that's nearly a third of your daily intake coming from fat.
Around 70% of your brain consists of fatty acids!!
Having said that it's the type of fat we consume that is really important. More on this to follow.
Our adipose (or fatty) tissue contains a protein hormone called leptin which is responsible for controlling our appetite & energy levels. A report in 1995 found that obese mice were deficient in this protein report on obese mice
Several studies have also shown that after fasting, or following a very low calorie diet, leptin levels were further reduced resulting in increased fatty deposition.
Due to a sore ankle caused by the doorbell ringing, & me suddenly jumping up out of my slumber having a dead leg, I am terminating this post for further treatment.
To your health,
John (healthy heart 4 life)
