Publisher's Synopsis
Many of us love junk foods. What we don't love are the medical conditions & weight gain that they are associated with. Research findings indicate that fiber & antioxidants can counteract the physiological effects of junk foods. This does not mean that we can eat as much fat as we want. What it does mean is greater freedom in making food choices! Counteract the Fat is a compilation of these research findings, providing cutting edge information on how fiber & antioxidants can help prevent medical conditions & weight gain associated with high-fat & other unhealthy great-tasting foods. The discussed Counteract the Fat concepts include:
☤ High-fat foods produce cholesterol-related acids that can clog arteries & raise cholesterol levels. Fiber counteracts that effect by nabbing cholesterol-related acids & removing them from our bodies, promoting healthy cholesterol levels & reducing our risk of heart disease. ☤ The excess calories in high-fat foods are stored as fat, & can cause us to gain weight. Fiber counteracts that effect by nabbing calories before they can be stored as fat, making it harder to gain weight & reducing our risk of obesity. ☤ High-fat foods generate free radicals that damage human cells. Antioxidants counteract that effect by neutralizing free radicals, preventing & reversing cellular damage & reducing our risk of cancer, heart disease & other conditions. ☤ The excess calories in high-fat foods are stored as fat, & can cause us to gain weight. Antioxidants counteract that effect by giving our bodies the energy needed to burn fat more efficiently, making it harder to gain weight & reducing our risk of obesity. ☤ High-fat foods can trigger heart attacks by causing blood clotting platelets to become more adhesive & clump together, triggering abnormal blood clots in the heart artery. Fiber counteracts that effect by speeding blood clot-dissolving mechanisms, decreasing the likelihood that abnormal blood clots will lead to heart attacks. ☤ High-fat foods raise cholesterol levels, which can prevent insulin from attaching to our cells' insulin receptors & make blood sugar unavailable to cells. This causes sugar to build up in the bloodstream & become toxic, eventually damaging the eyes, kidneys, nerves, immune system, heart & blood vessels. Both fiber & the antioxidant vitamin C counteract that effect by promoting healthy cholesterol levels, thus allowing insulin to attach to our cells' insulin receptors & making blood sugar available to cells. This prevents the buildup & toxification of sugar in the bloodstream - thus preventing damage to vital organs & reducing our risk of type II diabetes. ☤ And MUCH, MUCH MORE!
