fats

[edge250]

i know allot guys use almonds, olive oil, udo's oil, etc for there fats but did you know.........

although all of these fats reduce arterial inflammation and help lower cholesterol only walnuts improved blood-vessel elasticity. the antioxidants and nutrients in walnuts help your arteries remain elastic which prevent them from hardening. an added benefit that none of the others offer. read this somewhere as it was a university study and thought i would pass it on

Interesting info. I may switch from almonds to walnuts now. If they help vessel elasticity, wouldn't that be useful in the war against high BP?

Shit I hate almonds and walnuts.

I am gonna go grab some today. As of now ALL my fat comes from EVOO and a tiny smidge of Natty PB.

Very interesting.....unfortunately I hate walnuts also. But I guess Walnut oil would be almost as good.

This is also found in cocao extract, green tee, pomegranates, wine, etc mostly in foods that contain polyphenols. The key is to eat a balanced diet. Almonds,olive oil etc all have benefits. Dont forget magnesium and taurine either.

Going into this further , I have done a few studies regarding this, off the top of my head also,

NIacin/inositol hexanicotinate
Garlic
Isoflavones
Astaxantin
probiotics and soluble fiber

these all help in lowering LDL cholesterol and improving the ratio between LDL and HDL, and the niacin and innositol + vitamin B complex for vitamin b balance, helps improve the elacticity of the arteries. There is suficient evidence to prove that Niacin and inositol, provide better results in the reduction of heart disease risk that prescription cholesterol lowering drugs, and without the risk of toxicity assoiciated with the drugs. Hope this helps more, I am hoping to see UDO himself live this year on one of his tours, I certainly found his book facinating and enlightening

alternatives to walnuts?

Damn I hate walnuts- proably the oil too. Someone has to prove that a similar oil / nut has similar effects- please! I don't mnd if I miss 1-2 % of it's effects

I get so confused on oils- flax, omega 3s, etc. - I personally was happy with the omega 3s that Phil recommended.
