- 2. We all need some fat in our diet. But eating too much fat makes us more likely to become overweight. What’s more, too much of a particular kind of fat – saturated fat – can raise our cholesterol, which increases the risk of heart disease. That’s why it’s important to cut down on fat, and choose foods that contain unsaturated fat. Eating too much fat can make us more likely to put on weight, because foods that are high in fat are also high in energy (calories). Being overweight raises our risk of serious health problems, such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. But this doesn’t mean that all fat is bad. We need some fat in our diet because it helps the body absorb certain nutrients. Fat is a source of energy, and provides essential fatty acids that the body can’t make itself. For most of us, it’s good to cut the total amount of fat in our diet. But we also need to think about the type of fat we're eating. Eat less fat Tips for cutting back on fat Nutrition labels on food packaging can help you to reduce the amount of fat you eat: • High fat foods: more than 20g of total fat per 100g • Low fat foods: less than 3g of total fat per 100g These tips can help you cut the total amount of fat in your diet: When shopping, compare nutrition labels so you can pick foods lower in fat. Use the per serving or per 100g information to compare different foods. Remember, servings may vary, so read the label carefully. •Ask your butcher for lean cuts of meat, or compare nutrition labels on meat packaging. •Choose lower-fat dairy products, such as 1% fat milk, lower fat cheese. •Grill, bake, poach or steam food rather than frying or roasting, so that you won't need to add any extra fat. •Measure oil with tablespoons rather than pouring it straight from a container: this will help you use less. •Trim visible fat and take skin off meat before cooking. Use the grill instead of the frying pan, whatever meat you’re cooking. •Put more vegetables or beans in casseroles, stews and curries, and a bit less meat. And skim the fat off the top before serving. •When making sandwiches, try leaving out the butter or spread: you might not need it if you're using a moist filling. When you do use spread, go for a reduced-fat variety and choose one that is soft straight from the fridge, so it's easier to spread thinly. You can find practical tips on eating less saturated fat in the video Cut saturated fat. Types of fat There are two main types of fat found in food: saturated and unsaturated. Saturated and unsaturated fat contain the same amount of calories. But as part of a healthy diet, we should try to cut down on food that is high in saturated fat, and instead eat foods that are rich in unsaturated fat. Saturated fat Most people in the UK eat too much saturated fat: about 20% more than the recommended maximum. •The average man should eat no more than 30g of saturated fat a day. •The average woman should eat no more than 20g of saturated fat a day. Eating a diet high in saturated fat can cause the level of cholesterol in your blood to build up over time. Raised cholesterol increases your risk of heart disease. That’s why, as well as cutting down on the total amount of fat we eat, it’s important to cut down on saturated fat. Foods high in saturated fat include: •fatty cuts of meat •meat products, including sausages and pies Articles from NHS on Facts On Fats •butter, ghee and lard •cheese, especially hard cheese •cream, soured cream and ice cream •some savoury snacks and chocolate confectionery •biscuits, cakes and pastries There are practical tips on cutting down on saturated fat in Cut saturated fat. Unsaturated fat Having unsaturated fat instead of saturated fat can help lower blood cholesterol. Unsaturated fat is found in: •oily fish such as salmon, fresh tuna and mackerel •avocados •nuts and seeds •sunflower and olive oils • Trans fats
- 3. Many of us in the UK eat too much salt. Too much salt can raise your blood pressure, which puts you at increased risk of health problems such as heart disease and stroke. But a few simple steps can help you to cut your salt intake. You don't have to add salt to food to be eating too much: 75% of the salt we eat is already in everyday foods such as bread, breakfast cereal and ready meals. But a diet that is high in salt can cause raised blood pressure, which around one third of adults in the UK already have. High blood pressure often has no symptoms. But if you have it, you are more likely to develop heart disease or have a stroke. Cutting down on salt reduces blood pressure, which means that your risk of developing stroke or heart disease is reduced. For tips on how to eat less salt, read Cut down on salt. Foods that contain salt Use nutrition labels on food packaging to help you cut down on salt: High is more than 1.5g salt per 100g (or 0.6g sodium) Low is 0.3g salt or less per 100g (or 0.1g sodium) Some foods are almost always high in salt because of the way they are made. Other foods, such as bread and breakfast cereals, can contribute a lot of salt to our diet. But that’s not because these foods are always high in salt: it’s because we eat a lot of them. High salt foods These foods are almost always high in salt. To cut down on salt, eat them less often or have smaller amounts: anchovies •bacon – used most often in McDonald’s burgers •cheese – to make there burgers more appealing they sometimes at more then one slice of cheese in the burger where as they are ok without cheese slice. •gravy granules •ham – they don’t use this ingredient however, beef has a huge amount of grease in it •olives •pickles •prawns •salami •salted and dry roasted nuts- how the main issue here is McDonald have a high amount of salt in them . •salt fish •smoked meat and fish •soy sauce •stock cubes •yeast extract Foods that can be high in salt In these foods, the salt content can vary widely between different brands or varieties. That means you can cut down on salt by comparing brands, and choosing the one that is lower in salt. Nutrition labels can help you do this. These foods include: bread products such as crumpets, bagels and ciabatta •pasta sauces NHS Article: Salt On •crisps •pizza Facts •ready meals •soup •sandwiches •sausages •tomato ketchup, mayonnaise and other sauces •breakfast cereals How much salt? Adults should eat no more than 6g of salt a day: that's around one full teaspoon. Children should eat less (see below for recommendations for babies and children). Of course, one easy way to eat less salt is to stop adding salt to your food during cooking and at the dinner table. If you regularly add salt to food when cooking, try cutting it out or adding less: you’ll rediscover the real tastes of your favourite foods. And when you sit down to eat, taste your food first to see if it needs salt.
- 4. Healthy Foods vs. Unhealthy Foods One of the reasons people turn to raw food is because they are looking to eat more healthy food. That’s definitely one of my main reasons for giving raw food a try. (Remember that when I say raw food, I don’t necessarily mean 100% raw.) Lately, I found myself giving out this little piece of advice: eating raw food doesn’t mean it’s necessarily healthier than other ways of eating. Hear me out… There are a lot of other things that go into your health, other than just the “label” you apply to your food. Maintaining healthy diets, for most of us can be tricky. So for instance, you might be eating raw food, but eating too much of it. Or you might be eating raw food, but eating too much of one category and not enough of another. Neither of these scenarios is very healthy. Or, you might be eating raw food but not drinking enough water, sleeping enough, or exercising enough. And then there’s your emotional and mental well being, all of which play into your overall health. Now, let’s take a closer look at what healthy foods are. The Healthy Foods List The Unhealthy Foods List ■Processed “white” foods like white breads, white pastas, etc. Here is a basic list of healthy foods that most people ■Refined white sugar, high fructose corn syrup, aspartame can agree on: ■Addictive substances like MSG, and other “taste enhancing” chemicals ■Fresh fruits and vegetables ■Processed, denatured fats and oils that the body cannot deal with ■Fresh leafy greens ■Cold pressed extra virgin oils Alright, so the unhealthy foods list is incomplete. That’s partly because it would ■Raw nuts and seeds take too long to include everything that might potentially be unhealthy. But it’s ■Sprouts also because we don’t all agree on what’s unhealthy. ■Seaweeds and sea vegetables Some people go around telling themselves that they’ll be healthy if they eat Now we can split hairs and argue that we should “Everything in Moderation“. And while the adage that eating everything in include other foods, depending on what lifestyle you moderation probably held true 100 years ago, it certainly doesn’t hold today. follow. For instance some may want to add superfoods, others may want to add in raw dairy or There are more chemicals and ingredients that I can’t pronounce on a label for meat, you get the idea. dried raisins than ever before. Dried raisins! But I think we can all agree that these are basically Imagine what’s in super processed junk foods for a minute. It’s not pretty. healthy foods. Especially fresh fruits and vegetables.
