In this episode of the So Frickin' Healthy podcast, we're diving into the topic of fat. We'll be discussing the different types of fat, the myths surrounding fat, and how it impacts our health.
First, we talk about the different types of fat. We have saturated fat, unsaturated fat, trans fat, and monounsaturated fat.
Next, we discuss some of the myths surrounding fat. One common misconception is that all fat is bad for you. However, our bodies need fat to function properly. It's important to focus on consuming healthy fats such as those found in nuts, seeds, and avocados. Another myth is that eating fat will make you gain weight.
We also discuss brown fat and visceral fat, which are different types of fat present in our bodies. Brown fat, also known as "good" fat, is found in small amounts in adults and can help to burn calories and regulate body temperature. Visceral fat, on the other hand, is the type of fat that surrounds our organs and is associated with an increased risk of heart disease and other health issues.
Lastly, we discuss skinny fat, a condition where a person may appear thin but has a high amount of body fat and a low muscle mass. This condition can be just as dangerous as being overweight, as it increases the risk of heart disease and other health issues.
We hope you found this episode informative and enlightening.
