Fats are able to make fat, but not necessary until the fat phobia let alone to actually avoid it. Fat content of the proper equipment needed by the body to stay healthy.
Fat is the natural molecules are not soluble in water. This is why when people eat too much fat will be fat.
But fat also serves as a source of energy, helps the absorption of vitamins and cell growth. So the right amount of fat is still needed by the body.
"Today the fat has a negative connotation, so that more people are phobic to eat it. But this is the wrong approach," said Dr. Rachel Djuwita Hatma, MPH, in the Workshop titled 'The Importance of Role Fats Essential For Growth.
According to Dr. Ratna, the body requires food with a balanced composition, including fat. Balanced composition that is intended for 50-60 percent carbohydrates, 15-20 percent protein, 30 percent fat, vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, B9, B12, D, E and minerals.
Well, it turns needed by the body fat is 30 percent. Levels of 30 percent should consist of 3 types of fat, namely saturated fatty acids (saturated fat or SAFA), monounsaturated fats acid (unsaturated fatty single bond or MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (unsaturated fat or PUFA double bonds).
Of the 30 per cent, the fat content of each must be balanced. SAFA is needed for 70-10 percent of needs fat, MUFA and PUFA by 12 percent 10 percent. Or by comparison is roughly the ratio 1:1:1.
"However, the problem is the consumption of bad fats SAFA is higher compared to other fat levels," said the doctor who is also a lecturer at the Faculty of Public Health UI. The ratio between SAFA, MUFA, and PUFA can achieve 4:1:1.
This is dangerous for health, as SAFA is bad fats which when excessive can lead to various diseases especially those associated with cardiovascular disease such as coronary heart disease, stroke, hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia.
As reported by the healthcastle, saturated fat or SAFA widely available in foods like red meat, high-fat dairy, eggs, and all sorts of fried foods.
While unsaturated fats or MUFA many single bonds found in nuts such as peanuts, walnuts, almonds, avocados and olive oils.
And unsaturated fats or PUFA double bonds found in many deep-sea fish such as salmon, tuna, mackerel, and snapper, vegetable oils that are not heated too high, beans, tofu, bean sprouts, coconut oil, and avocado.
