Butters: The Importance of Fats
by Mikaelah Villacruz

Fats In Our System
Dietary fats are essential to give your body energy and to support cell growth. They also help protect your organs, keep your body warm, and help your body absorb some nutrients and produce important hormones.

There are four types of fats and have different chemical structures and physical properties. The bad fats, saturated and trans fats, tend to be more solid at room temperature (like a stick of butter), while monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats tend to be more liquid (like liquid vegetable oil).

The bad fats, saturated fats and trans fats raise bad cholesterol levels in your blood, where as monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats can lower bad cholesterol levels and are beneficial when consumed as part of a healthy dietary pattern. Consuming high levels of saturated or trans fats can also lead to heart disease and stroke

To avoid this, it is recommended that we replace the saturated fats and trans fats we consume with monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats – while still maintaining a nutritionally-adequate diet. How can we do that while enjoying our food? We carry many natural, high-protein nut butters that aid in this!

G Butter
Available in multiple fun and delicious flavors, G Butter is a high protein, low calorie nut butter that can be used just like peanut or almond butter on bread, bananas, celery, or other foods. It can be spread on any baked good as a frosting, enjoyed straight out of the jar, and amazingly can be microwaved into a brownie in just 30 seconds!

Hank's Protein Peanut Butters
Spread is made with natural products, starting with a high quality split toasted / roasted blend of peanuts / almonds. We then add a high quality Whey Concentrate and Whey Isolate (Pea protein and Soy Isolate for vegan) combination to all our flavors.

Macadamia Nut Oil

This particular oil has one of the highest concentrations of monounsaturated fats (oleic acid) of available oils. This incredible omega-9 fat, oleic acid, helps maintain a healthy heart. In fact, it's considered the gold standard for optimizing the health of our internal environment. Macadamia nut oil is so high in monounsaturated fats (84-85% by weight) that it even surpasses extra virgin olive oil (65-74% by weight).

MACADAMIA NUT OIL has a perfect ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 fatty acids, 1:1. Our hunter-gatherer ancestors ate an equal balance (1:1 ratio) of linoleic acid (Omega-6) to alpha linolenic acid (Omega-3) essential fatty acids (EFAs). Junk food, rampant vegetable oil use, and the feeding of grain to food animals (even fish) have resulted in our current consumption ratios rising to a scary 20:1 ratio.**

MACADAMIA NUT OIL has an extremely high smoke point (410 degrees), which means it's excellent for stir-fry and baking. Olive oil has a much lower smoke point (325 degrees or less) and it degrades when used in cooking. MACADAMIA NUT OIL has a sweet buttery taste, is resistant to oxidation, and is extremely high in vitamin E (four times higher than olive oil) making it the ideal heart-healthy, performance-enhancing, fat.*

脂質の重要性(必須脂肪酸）

3大栄養素の中で脂質（脂肪)は最も誤解されている栄養素だ。脂質はエネルギー源、細胞膜を造る、正常な免疫系の維持、栄養素の吸収を助けるなど必須の栄養素である。ただし脂質であればなんでも食べて良しということではなく良い脂質を選んで摂取する必要がある。

いわゆる悪い脂質は飽和脂肪酸、トランス脂肪でこれらはバターのように常温では固まった状態で、悪玉コレステロールを上昇させ心臓の健康に悪影響を及ぼす。対して良い脂肪は不飽和脂肪酸、多価不飽和脂肪これらの脂質は悪玉コレステロール値を下げ健康に好影響を与える。

良い脂質(必須脂肪酸)摂取のための3製品を紹介しよう、
