HDL fat, known as the good cholesterol, is essential for maintaining optimal health and a strong nervous system. At the Marc Bony Chiropractic Center in Mataró, we promote natural health and help you understand the importance of incorporating healthy fats into your diet.

HDL fat is your friend

One of the biggest healthcare misconceptions perpetrated over the last decade is the notion that “fat is bad.” If you want to enjoy your greatest health potential, you must know the truth about this common (and incorrect) belief about fat.

Fat is not your enemy

Fat is essential if you want your body to look and feel younger and fuel your nervous system to function at its best. Healthy fats supply good cholesterol, which is crucial for the production of hormones that enhance youthful qualities. If you have chosen to adopt a low-fat diet, you are depriving your body of the nutrients it needs to delay aging and function optimally.   In fact, low-fat alternatives abound on supermarket shelves. To get away with low-fat products (low taste), manufacturers have opted to add sugar to provide the flavor people want. What is the result for you? Weight gain. If you have LDL cholesterol, read this link to balance it. That is to say: Fat does not automatically make you fat. At least, not the “good” fat (HDL).
