Why Saturated Fat Can Be Good For You
Saturated fat has been shown to have loads of positive effects on the
body, including:
Liver Health: Saturated fat encourages the liver cells to dump their fat
cells, which helps the liver to function more effectively .
Immunity: Saturated fatty acids, especially the kinds found in butter
and coconut, help white blood cells to recognize and destroy invading
viruses and bacteria. Go get ‘em, boys!
Hormones: Eating saturated fat tends to increase free testosterone
levels, which helps to repair tissue, preserve muscle, and improve
sexual function .
Now, fat is high in calories, so it can promote weight gain in that
respect. Per gram, it has more than twice the calories of protein or
carbohydrates. But provided an eye is kept on portion size, saturated
fat in and of itself doesn’t have any negative impact on the body. In
fact, increasing fat intake might help with weight loss: One study found
that when three groups of obese people were fed diets of 90 percent fat,
90 percent protein, and 90 percent carbohydrates, respectively, the
high-fat group lost the most weight . Plus, it tastes freaking delicious.
