Are You "Skinny Fat?"
Good and Bad Cholesterol
Cholesterol is an essential ingredient of your blood. However, if the level of your cholesterol is too high you could end up with heart and circulation problems. Cholesterol is made up of HDL, high density lipids, which are good for you, and LDL, low density lipids, which are not so good for you.
In order to get a healthy balance, specific foods and exercise are needed. Eat too many foods that contain trans fatty acids or hydrogenated fat and you could send your LDL through the roof. A balanced diet that is low in fats and high in fruit, vegetables, and omega rich fish, is a much better option. Digestive systemYour digestive system works hard constantly. It will benefit if your diet is fiber rich, as well as having plenty of fruit and vegetables, very few processed foods and plenty of nuts and whole foods.
A strong skeleton
Your skeleton supports you and without it you could not survive. Eat a diet that is rich in calcium and vitamin D to maintain and protect strong, healthy bones. If necessary you can take a food supplement. However it will be better if you can get what you need from your diet.
