Polyunsaturated oils = excessive free radicals under storage and heat of cooking
Saturated fats and the cholesterol of meats = atherosclerosis
Fried anything = acrylonitrile, carcinogenic
Monosaturated oils such as olive oil are the key, not to mention the beneficial compounds such as oleuropin unique to olive oil. Eat handfuls of raw walnuts daily. Walnuts actually have higher alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) than flax seed.
Moderate complex carbs.
Supplement with Bilberry extract, Chokeberry extract and Elderberry extract for powerful health promoting anthocyanins, teaspoons of each daily.
Just gave up most all forms of refined sugar, lost more weight, feel better.
Swim 5,200 yds. minimum per week. Mildly ripped from swimming.
I am 65 yrs. male and 5'10", 164 lbs., vegetarian since 20 yrs., severe central sleep apnea (treated), but overall, never felt better in my life.
- AstralStorm 7y agoLink between saturated fats and atherosclerosis is tenuous at best. It is now likely that not all of these days have the effect. Likewise only certain density lipids are dangerous. Metabolism is a complex beast.
- cyounkins 7y agoAs I described above, I have to disagree: The link between saturated fat intake and blood LDL cholesterol is very well established by hundreds of controlled-feeding experiments. Here is a meta-analysis of 395 such experiments: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9006469 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9006469 Going from LDL cholesterol to atherosclerosis, the plaque that composes the arterial blockages is largely made of cholesterol-rich lipids. On a higher level, the use of statins to lower cholesterol is the #1 thing doctors do to try to reduce a person's risk of heart disease.
