Did you know that 60% of your brain is made up of fat?
For that reason alone, the fats you include in your diet can directly impact your brain.
Of course, that doesn’t give you license to go out and consume a fast food diet of French Fries and overly processed foods.
(That will fry your brain in no time).
What you do want to focus on, is the so-called Essential Fatty Acids (aka EFA’s) – which include the all important omega-3’s.
These EFA’s are so named because they are so essential to your well-being – and also because your body doesn’t make these essential fats on it’s own.
They have to come from your food.
The bottom line is that, to be truly healthy, you definitely need a certain amount of fat in your diet.
In fact, one of the major culprits associated with the recent rise in autoimmune disease (what some are calling a national epidemic), has been the “fat-free” diet – a fad that has been extremely popular in recent decades.
Turns out we were all mis-informed – if not totally mis-led.
