Are you eating the right fat?

What kind of fat?  The best sources of fats tend to be dense with omega 3, vitamin k2, and other minerals these actually significantly lower your risk of cardiac disease and stroke, by increasing the transport of cholesterol in the arteries, blockages are removed coconut oil, 100% Grass Fed Beef, grass-fed butter(ghee). all fit this category well. Another that you may be familiar with is fish oil however, there is a much more nutritious and better absorbed version called: Cod Liver Oil. This is fish oil that contains vitamin A, vitamin D,vitamin k2, and omega 3. It has been shown to reduce inflammation more than regular fish oil and is one of the most effective supplements you can take for lowering blood pressure.

One of the main functions of vitamin k2 is the transport of calcium from the arteries into the bones you may be thinking this may help osteoporosis(which it does) however, the real benefit is in the decalcification of soft tissue. This again comes back to heart health in that sufficient k2 intake will increase the flexibility of the arterial walls. Something that we lose naturally through old age it also can be lost from smoking, stress, and poor diet. Where to get vitamin k2? vitamin k2 comes from meat and meat products exclusively.

This is congruent with the increase of heart disease followed by the drop of saturated fat consumption in the 70’s caused by The Lipid Hypothesis. This has been a hypothesis for over forty years because it cannot be proven. We’ve been killing our selves with bad science. In short its important to note that saturated fat is necessary for a healthy body and won’t be the main factor contributing to clogged arteries or excessive body fat.
