The Real Anti-Aging Diet - Part 2

In Part 1 of this article series we discussed the body's inflammation response and what happens when that response goes outside of the body's normal range. We discussed the two primary types of fatty acids our body's need: omerga-6 and omega-3.

In Part 2 we will focus on trans fats, why they are so bad for us, and what we can do to eliminate them from our diet. Although this discussion may get a bit 'science-y' this information is important for us to understand in order to maintain good health.

The Problem with Trans Fats:

Trans fats are in the news daily. And the rate at which products that contain them are being pulled from supermarket shelves is an indication of just how serious a threat to good health they are. Trans fats are distinctly pro-inflammatory in the body.

They are fats that have been artificially hardened and include vegetable shortening, hydrogenated vegetable oils and margarine. The process by which normally liquid fats are turned into semi-solids transforms them chemically into substances that are pro-inflammatory in the body.

The real problem with trans fats is that they are not chemically stable so when they are heated or otherwise disturbed they become substances that create inflammatory states in the body. By contrast, butter and lard do not contain trans fats.

So how do we avoid consuming trans fats? Some changes will have to be made in the traditional American diet if we are to avoid trans fats. Some points to consider are:
  • Don't consume products made with vegetable shortening
  • Also avoid using shortening for cooking
  • Don't eat products that list partially hydrogenated oil as an ingredient.
  • The FDA is now requiring manufacturers to list trans fats on the label so it should be easier to spot food that contain them.
  • Do not use margarine or butter substitutes.
  • Do not order fried foods in restaurants. Almost all restaurants fry their food in oil that has oxidized and contains trans fats.
  • Do not use oil that has gone rancid.
  • Decrease your use of safflower, sunflower, corn and sesame oils
  • Do not heat your cooking oil to the point of smoking and don't breathe in the smoke of oil that has been heated to the smoking level.
  • Use olive oil and butter as your primary cooking oils.

    The legislature in New York is trying to pass a bill that will make it an offense for restaurant's to use trans fats in cooking. The restaurants would be able to phase trans fats out over the next 18 months.

    Hopefully this measure will pass and more states will follow suit. The overall health of the entire American population would increase if we could do just this one thing in support of our health.

    Using the proper supplements will promote a healthy anti-inflammatory condition in the body when coupled with good nutrition and avoidance of trans fats. The immune system is directly responsible for holding inflammation in check. So nutritional support and support through adding supplements, for the immune system is vital to our efforts of maintaining good health.

    For example one supplement that reportedly supports immune system functioning is Immuitril(tm). We read good things about this promising supplement. It won't hurt to check it out at better online stores like www.Amazon.com and www.BODeStore.com. To find out if this supplement can help you boost your immune system do a search at one of these reputable eTailers.

    In part 3 we will look at the dietary changes we need to make in order to promote good health with an anti-inflammatory diet. We will look more in depth at the different food groups and explain how both good and bad products affect your overall health.
