FAT! It’s bad right? Everyone tells you not to eat it, that it expands your waist and clogs your arteries. Well, there certainly are some types you need to avoid, like saturated and hydrogenated fats . But there are others you can not live without! The fact is, over one third of every cell in your body is made of fat. They’re made of the types you take in; you really are what you eat. So if fast food is a daily indulgence for you, call yourself a big mac!

So what kinds of fats should you eat? Omega-3’s from fish oil and grass-fed animals are the most important. These fats make your cell’s run smoothly, keep your brain working sharply, and help control inflammation. Omega-6’s from vegetable sources like coconut help balance Omega-3’s. Omega-9’s from special plants like Borage and Primrose help your body maintain healthy hormone levels. Our company, Kroeger Herbs, manufactures a wonderful Evening Primrose Oil soft gel. We also carry quality fish oil supplements and coconut oils at Hanna’s Herb Shop. Viva healthy fats!
