Cleansing Secret #11 Healthy Fats

Did you know that margarine and foods made with hydrogenated fats or trans fats are toxic?

These unnatural ‘foods’ make your body’s detox organs sluggish and require huge amounts of energy for digestion. They also lead to weight gain and many are known neurotoxins – that is, they attack the brain and nervous system, which may result in pain and inflammation.

Do you prefer the spreadable texture of margarine? Make a batch of ‘Better Butter’ instead! Simply use electric beaters to combine 1/4 cup cold pressed Extra Virgin olive oil with 1/4 cup room temperature butter until smooth. Use up to 3 tsp. daily, if required to flavor vegetables. Better Butter is soft like margarine and liquifies at room temperature, so keep refrigerated.

Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs)
EFAs are important for maintaining the membranes of all cells; for making prostaglandins which regulate many body processes including inflammation and blood clotting. Another requirement for fat in the diet is to enable the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K to be absorbed from food; and for regulating body cholesterol metabolism.

Food sources include vegetables, fruits, nuts, grains, seeds. Most people do not get enough EFAs – supplement daily with high quality Omega 3-6-9 oil – 15 ml oil for every 50 lbs body weight.
