Do you want to boost your metabolism and improve your health right away?
Then read this story for a moment.
It all starts with a question.
Why are we increasingly struggling with extra pounds?
There is a reason, and it’s called supermarket shopping.

If you want to know how the Western diet , and therefore also the Italian one, has changed for the worse, think of the data that the United States government has provided on the nutrition of the last century of what is now considered one of the most obese peoples in the world. .

From 1900 to 1999, Americans consumed more vegetable oils , with particular reference to corn and soybean oils, margarines and frying oils, which gradually replaced the fats of previous centuries: butter, olive oil, lard, milk whole, cream, cheeses and fatty dairy products, lard.

What happened? The excess of polyunsaturated fatty acids, called PUFAs, has slowed the metabolism of millions of Americans, but not only . As companies around the world have learned to exploit these vegetable oils in food production, the damage has spread to a population of billions of individuals.

Including us. That we buy baked goods, cookies, sauces, cakes, bar croissants, frying oils, margarines, breaded foods, chips and snacks, bars, breakfast cereals and spreads.

What do these foods have in common? They are oils rich in Pufa, not only added in the form of fats, but also as emulsions (see the ubiquitous  soy lecithin ).

POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS: WHAT ARE THEY?

All these products I said contain PUFA, I said.
Polyunsaturated fatty acids, but mainly omega 6. Which, for heaven’s sake, in minimal quantities and appropriately balanced with omega3 polyunsaturated and especially with other types of fats (saturated fats: they would be involved in the regulation of polyunsaturated and unsaturated fatty acids, so it is good to eat them with limitation but daily, 10% is enough) are also good for health. But which lead to the formation of inflammatory substances starting from arachidonic acid, which are related to an increased cardiovascular risk.
