Given up butter? Well research
shows that some margarine's are made with chemically hardened vegetable
oils - a process which can actually convert the GOOD polyunsaturated
fat into BAD trans fats, the type believed to be linked to heart
disease. Margarine also contains emulsifiers, preservatives and
artificial colours and flavours and salt. So it could be that a
low salt butter used sparingly could actually be the healthier option.

DID YOU KNOW…..? That
Avocados, although naturally high in fat, most of it is the
healthy, mono unsaturated type which are linked to lower levels
of heart disease, obesity and some cancers. Avocados lower
bad LDL cholesterol and also contain many vitamins and minerals.
They also include the potent anti-oxidant combination of vitamins
E and C, which protect our bodies against free radicals.

A
recent study by Cambridge University has confirmed that eating oily
fish
- salmon, mackerel, herring for instance has a protective effect
against inflammatory conditions such as asthma, when eaten on a
regular basis. Their study showed that those who ate oily fish at
least twice a week halved their experience of wheezing and chest
tightness compared to those who ate no oily fish, even after they
took into account other factors such as smoking habits. Oily fish
is rich in Omega 3 fatty acids which are processed in the body to
produce anti-inflammatory chemicals that are believed to reduce
constriction of the airways.
