Which is more healthier; saturated or unsaturated?!


Question:

Which is more healthier; saturated or unsaturated?


Answers:
Fat has had a lot of bad press and for many people, just a mention of the word can evoke misery. You can try to lose it, try to hide it, try to avoid it, but your body still needs it! Did you know that fat helps to insulate our nerve cells, keeps us warm, balances our hormones, keeps skin and arteries supple, lubricates joints and is a component in every cell?

The key issue here is recognizing which type of fat your body needs, how much your body requires and which type is your enemy. Armed with the right information, you can focus on getting more of the good fats and less of the bad fats into your daily diet.

There are two types of fat to be aware of. Saturated fats - let's call them "the enemy" and unsaturated fats - "the good guys"! It is easy to tell the difference because saturated fats are hard at room temperature. Saturated fats are not essential to your health. They come from animals and are found in meat, eggs and cheese. They are harder to digest and full of cholesterol.

Unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature and have been divided into two groups. Monounsaturated fats such as olive oil, and polyunsaturated fats such as sunflower oil.

Unsaturated, cause it doesn't clog your arteries and damage your heart.

saturated isnt good for you, and by the way you can not use "more" and a word ending in "er" at the same time.

Saturated fat is the one that is the unhealthy choice. It comes from animal fat.

The unsaturated one is the healthier one. It comes from the plants.
