The Real Anti-Aging Diet - Part 2

In Part 1 of this article series we discussed the body's
inflammation response and what happens when that response goes
outside of the body's normal range. We discussed the two primary
types of fatty acids our body's need: omerga-6 and omega-3.

In Part 2 we will focus on trans fats, why they are so bad for
us, and what we can do to eliminate them from our diet. Although
this discussion may get a bit 'science-y' this information is
important for us to understand in order to maintain good health.

The Problem with Trans Fats
----------------------------

Trans fats are in the news daily. And the rate at which products
that contain them are being pulled from supermarket shelves is an
indication of just how serious a threat to good health they are.
Trans fats are distinctly pro-inflammatory in the body.

They are fats that have been artificially hardened and include
vegetable shortening, hydrogenated vegetable oils and margarine.
The process by which normally liquid fats are turned into
semi-solids transforms them chemically into substances that are
pro-inflammatory in the body.

The real problem with trans fats is that they are not chemically
stable so when they are heated or otherwise disturbed they become
substances that create inflammatory states in the body. By
contrast, butter and lard do not contain trans fats.

So how do we avoid consuming trans fats? Some changes will have
to be made in the traditional American diet if we are to avoid
trans fats. Some points to consider are:

* Don't consume products made with vegetable shortening

* Also avoid using shortening for cooking

* Don't eat products that list partially hydrogenated oil as an
ingredient.

* The FDA is now requiring manufacturers to list trans fats on
the label so it should be easier to spot food that contain them.

* Do not use margarine or butter substitutes.

* Do not order fried foods in restaurants. Almost all
restaurants fry their food in oil that has oxidized and contains
trans fats.

* Do not use oil that has gone rancid.

* Decrease your use of safflower, sunflower, corn and sesame
oils

* Do not heat your cooking oil to the point of smoking and
don't breathe in the smoke of oil that has been heated to the
smoking level.

* Use olive oil and butter as your primary cooking oils.

The legislature in New York is trying to pass a bill that will
make it an offense for restaurant's to use trans fats in
cooking. The restaurants would be able to phase trans fats out
over the next 18 months.

Hopefully this measure will pass and more states will follow
suit. The overall health of the entire American population would
increase if we could do just this one thing in support of our
health.

Using the proper supplements will promote a healthy
anti-inflammatory condition in the body when coupled with good
nutrition and avoidance of trans fats. The immune system is
directly responsible for holding inflammation in check. So
nutritional support and support through adding supplements, for
the immune system is vital to our efforts of maintaining good
health.

For example one supplement that reportedly supports immune system
functioning is Immuitril�. We read good things about this
promising supplement. It won't hurt to check it out at better
online stores like www.Amazon.com and www.BODeStore.com. To find
out if this supplement can help you boost your immune system do a
search at one of these reputable eTailers.

In part 3 we will look at the dietary changes we need to make in
order to promote good health with an anti-inflammatory diet. We
will look more in depth at the different food groups and explain
how both good and bad products affect your overall health.

Look for our next article at better article syndication websites
or visit us at the www.HealthandFitnessVitality.com Blog.
Remember good health is true wealth and your greatest asset.
