What Are The Dangers Of Including Too Much Fat In Your Diet?

Too much fat in your diet will have a pretty straight forward impact:

• You'll put on more weight- and this comes with a whole bunch of health hazards.
• if you are eating saturated fats, you also run the risk of high cholesterol and heart disease.

The dangers of too much fat in your diet The most obvious risk that a high-fat diet has is that it might cause you to put on weight.
Foods that are high in fat are often high in calories. Taking in more calories than you can burn off will cause your body to store this extra energy as fat.

The fatter you are, the more likely you are to encounter the following illnesses:

• High blood pressure
• Diabetes
• Heart disease

How can too much far harm you
Another way a high-fat diet will affect you is in the form of saturated fats.
Fat is usually divided into two types; saturated and unsaturated.

The unsaturated kind is usually considered worse for you, and includes foods like butter, cheese, cream, biscuits, and lardy meat.

This type of fat causes cholesterol levels to build up in the blood, and may result in heart disease.
Trans fats- a third type of fat, have much the same effect.

I would always recommend reading the nutritional information printed on food if you are concerned about your fat intake.

Getting yourself informed can be the difference between a healthy life and an untimely death!
