Best Healthy Fat Sources - (You May Be Surprised...) - Thomas DeLauer
So, when we think of eating fat, we think of an oil, a fat, just a simple fuel, right? We don't really think of fat as having vitamins, minerals, and properties, from a health perspective. It's so easy to just classify fat into one category, but there are so many different kinds of fats. I mean, we know Omega-3's exist, right? So, why don't we take a look at different foods that have different fat profiles to determine what the healthiest fats are for just overall health.
Now, this doesn't matter if you're on keto or if you are not on keto or if you're doing any other kind of diet regimen, it just doesn't matter. These are just healthy fats in general to explain the diversity. You don't want to just eat one kind of fat. So, these are sort of are the combinations of fats that I recommend getting just sometime throughout the week to just get good healthy sources.
So, the first fat that I think is absolutely underrated is going to be fat that comes from macadamia nuts. People think that because macadamia nuts taste super good that they don't have a good quality fat in them. The fact is they are very high in what is called palmitoleic acid.
Now, palmitoleic acid is an Omega-7 that does some really powerful things. First and foremost, Omega-7's make Omega-3's more readily available. There's sort of a competition system going on in the body that essentially when Omega-7's come into play, Omega-3's become more readily available.
Now, the other fat that is in macadamia nuts is going to be Omega-9's. Omega-9's or oleic acid. So, Omega-9's trigger something really cool in the body, it's called oleoylethanolamide or OEA.
So, basically, a pathway known as PPAR, which dramatically improves satiety as well. So, basically, we get a big benefit of satiation, of some fat burning, but then we also get the utilization of Omega-3's a lot better. Now, there's one other thing that macadamia nut oil or macadamia nuts do, and that's, it stimulates lipolysis, specifically, from the white adipose tissue.
People think vitamin E is great for the hair, skin and nails and all that stuff, but vitamin E inhibits protein kinase C, but also inhibits what's called cyclooxygenase enzyme-2. Have you ever taken ibuprofen or aspirin before? You take that to try to reduce COX-2, to reduce pain. Did you know that vitamin E from a natural source can help with that too? So, it modulates inflammation by targeting what's called interleukin-6.
Okay. The next one that I want to mention is going to be olive oil. Now, I'm not going to spend a lot of time on olive oil because we know the benefits, right? But the big thing I want to talk about with olive oil is the monounsaturated fat, which means we get all the properties of a non-saturated fat, but in a little bit less stable that we could actually drizzle on some stuff.
Liquid peroxidation is where these fats can essentially go rancid inside your body causing inflammation. So, that means you need fats like olive oil that have fat bound reactive oxygen species scavenging effects to basically circulate and stop that effect. So, olive oil definitely a little bit here and there. You don't need to load up with it. I recommend getting a good diversity of fats.
There was a meta analysis from Japan that took a look at 21 different studies with over 348,000 participants and they found that there was no correlation between an increase in heart disease and stroke in those that consumed a high amount of saturated fat or those that consumed a low amount of saturated fat.

It's not the saturated fat that's the issue. It's inflammation and sugar that's the issue. Coconut oil, if anything, is going to combat some of these negative, gram negative bacteria that could cause inflammation and other bad things within our body.
Anyhow, I hope that this gave you a different perspective on fats. Okay. That they're all not the same. You can't just go have soy bean oil and it's the same as olive oil. You can't just have macadamia nuts and it's the same as walnuts. Okay. They're all different, and these are my picks for just a healthy lifestyle. I could go into detail with the other fats and talk about benefits and cons, but let's keep it simple for today. So as always, make sure you're keeping it locked in here on my channel and I'll see you in the next video.
