Phat Facts: Navigating the Good, the Bad, and the Healthy Fats!
In the 3rd episode of The Sader Digest, Brad and Alex are digging into one of the most misunderstood food groups: fats! From the “bad guys” to the “good guys,” they break down the essential role fats play in our diets. You’ll hear about the difference between those solid, artery-clogging saturated fats (think butter) and the heart-healthy unsaturated fats (olive oil, we’re looking at you!).
But it’s not all doom and gloom—Alex and Brad dive into why fats are crucial for our health. They’ll also take you on a journey through the world of omega-3s and omega-6s, the essential fatty acids your body can’t make on its own, but desperately needs. Think salmon, chia seeds, and walnuts—yum!
Plus, discover how fats help your body soak up essential vitamins like A, D, E, and K (even though Brad miss speaks about Vitamin E -Thanks Alex for correcting him!). And, of course, no fat talk is complete without some history: they touch on the rise and fall of low-fat diets and how moderation is the key. They also tackle the truth about trans fats and hydrogenated oils, the villainous fats that have earned a permanent ban. Get ready for a fun and flavorful deep dive into all things fat—it’s time to rethink your relationship with this essential nutrient!
