Healthy Fats that Melt Fats

Healthy fats are not new to us. But lately, researchers are fascinated to see how a diet that includes them still assures a beautiful silhouette, no matter if it’s a larger caloric intake. This is because fatty acids have a large number of calories, as well.

The best sources for fatty acids are avocado, dark green vegetables, oily fish, nuts, olives, various seeds, macadamia and coconut oil. Expert advice is to include them all, generously, in your daily menus.

For both cooking and to put them in salads, you can use coconut oil, macadamia nuts or walnuts, obtained by cold pressing.

In addition to weight regulation, these oils have several proven benefits: they are rich in Omega 3, with strong anti-inflammatory role, improve heart health, helps your thyroid, and brings benefits to your immune system. But the first place among substances which are said to prevent fat storage is, in my opinion, CLA, or conjugated linoleic acid.

This is a natural fatty acid found in beef, the dairy and various seeds. However, due to changes in agricultural practice, today’s foods contain less CLA, which means a low availability in the diet daily. CLA is produced from vegetable oils rich in linoleic acid as the nut, and a bacterium that lives in the intestines of ruminant animals such as cows and sheep, produce conjugated linoleic acid and CLA.

Numerous clinical studies have shown CLA’s role in maintaining a healthy body weight through its effect by blocking an enzyme that contributes to the accumulation of fat in adipocytes, lipoprotein lipase that is necessary to extract the fat cells in the blood fat and blood vessels. By inhibiting the enzyme, adipocytes do not increase and retain dimensions.

Hence especially important role in maintaining an optimal weight and especially the results of diet, preventing the phenomenon of “yo-yo”. Another interesting aspect is that CLA supplementation may help burn excess fat, but also stimulate the production of muscle tissue, without any side effects.
