Joe Wicks aka The Body Coach is the man taking social media by storm and it seems to be the talk of The Boutique at the moment!
Here is one of Joe’s Blogs explaining – The truth about fats!
Many people believe that fat is unhealthy and that eating it will make them fat, so it’s often the first macronutrient people cut out when trying to get lean. This is a common mistake, because not all fats are bad; in fact, some are essential to the body and must be obtained from your diet.
WHY ARE FATS IMPORTANT?
Fats have several important roles in the body, including:
• Providing you with energy (1g of fat contains 9kcals, as opposed to just 4kcals in 1g of carbohydrate)
• Absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K (fat must be present in order for the body to absorb these vitamins)
• Protecting your organs, nerves and tissues, and helping to regulate body temperature
• Every cell membrane in the body needs fat for protection, and also to grow new healthy cells
• Fats are involved in the production of essential hormones in the body
• Maintenance of healthy hair, skin and nails
As you can see, fats are vital for good health – and that’s why my recipes include them.
