Low- fat foods are not always good for our health

There are many kinds of ‘low-fat foods’ anywhere. Whenever you go to your refrigerator or a supermarket, you or your family are choosing them. We eat low-fat food without any hesitation. Everyone knows that eating too much fat can be bad for you. So when you see the words "low fat", "no fat" or "99 per cent fat-free" on the product, it must be a healthy choice, right? But for some time past, low-fat foods’ bad things are appearing. Still, you cannot realize that. Or you do not want to admit the facts. Therefore, my question is ‘low-fat food is always a healthy choice?’ and my argument is ‘low-fat foods are not always good for our health.’ Then, I will show the current situation about the food intake patterns and disadvantages of low-fat food. I think it is not good for our health perfectly.

People already know that the floating talks about low-fat food don't have an exactly good effect to their health. Though they are listening that, people buy low -fat food yet. They accommodate an advertisement mindlessly. But from my research, 'Low-fat' foods have a little of fat, but these make us put other ingredients that are like sweeteners or eat much. Also, we have to eat the fats. If we want to eat less fat, our nerves functions and energy sources suffer greatly. I impress in "quality is more important than quantity". People have to know that low-fat foods may have an imbalance of fat and lead you blood-disease. People have to intake some fats according to their health condition or daily calories. Just maintaining a nutritionally balanced diet can make well-balance especially in fat, not in constant fear of intaking fat. And then, there are so many risks hidden in a dark side of 'low-fat'. These risks cause not only just physical health problem, but the mental problem that can destroy the rest of our life.

"Low-fat" foods must have 3 grams of fat or less per serving. Fat isn’t bad — we actually need it to survive. Fat helps protect and cushion our critical organs, helps keeps nerves functions, keeps us warm and is a valuable energy source. But what's also important is that you're eating the healthier fats, sometimes called "good” fats. If you're not eating enough fat to bring these vitamins into your body, they will be excreted, and you may be at risk for a vitamin. And They are the precursor to many hormones and chemicals produced in the brain. Also, Colon, breast, and prostate cancers have all been correlated with low intakes of essential fatty acids.

Also, as mentioned earlier, my thesis is low-fat foods are not always good for our health. An important part of my thesis is 'not always' because people think they are always good, but they have good points and bad points both. The type of source that I using to defend my thesis is health newspapers. I think newspapers are more accurate than other researches. So, my arguments mostly based on scientific evidences.

However, the opposite position says that why low-fat foods are named 'low-fat'? They are arguing that when we eat any foods, it is better that fats are low. But it is not true. I can anticipate and counter my argument by creating strong arguments that Convince yourself that with food, quality is more important than quantity and resolve to indulge in conscious eating. A very low-fat diet may save you a few calories today, but in the long run it could be setting you up for blood sugar imbalances and even future weight gain. Through these researches, I strengthen my argument or thesis.

In conclusion, If you have been terrorized about fats by the modern diet industry to the point where seeing a pat of butter gives you an anxious reaction, focus on introducing the so-called “healthy” fats into your diet such as those found in walnuts, almonds, avocado and olives. Your body and brain will thank you, and you will probably find that you are feeling healthier and more energetic as well.

Convince yourself that with food, quality is more important than quantity and resolve to indulge in conscious eating. A very low-fat diet may save you a few calories today, but in the long run it could be setting you up for blood sugar imbalances and even future weight gain.
