Macronutrients: Fats
57391304292600December 2020307911515303500Macronutrients: FatsFats are an important part of our diet. Fat provides the body with energy, helps absorb fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K), makes hormones, keeps you warm, and protects the organs. There are four types of fats: saturated, trans, polyunsaturated, and monounsaturated. Limit your saturated and trans fat intakes. You want to aim to make most of your daily fat intake come from monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Saturated fats are mostly in animal products (e.g. butter, meat) and are solid at room temperature. High intakes of saturated fats increase the risk of heart disease and some cancers. It is best to aim for less than 13 grams of saturated fat daily.Trans fats can be found naturally in foods (e.g. milk and meat) and can be man-made (e.g. partially hydrogenated oil, Crisco, margarine). Man-made trans fats are the largest source of trans fat in the diet. High intakes of trans?fats increase the?risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. The American Heart Association recommends eating as little trans-fats as possible.Polyunsaturated fats are found in fatty fish, soy beans, corn oil, and sunflower oil. It is also found in walnuts and sunflower seeds. These foods are also good sources of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid. These fats decrease the risk of heart disease. The American Heart Association recommends replacing some saturated and trans fat with polyunsaturated fats. Monounsaturated fats are found mostly in plant-based products and foods like canola oil, olive oil, peanut oil, avocados, peanut butter and many nuts. They are typically liquid at room temperature. Monounsaturated fats lower the risk of heart disease and stroke, provide the nutrients to help develop and maintain your body’s cells, and are a good source of the antioxidant, Vitamin E.Source: Nonfat Dry MilkSelection: Choose boxes or bags without tears; this could mean the nonfat dry milk is unsafe to use.
