Drop a if you love butter!
Here’s why saturated fat is good for you:
1. It gives you steady energy: Saturated fats fuel your brain and mitochondria and help give you steady energy and laser focus.
2. It’s crucial for nervous system health: Myelin is the material that lines your nerves, and it is made mainly of saturated fat. Without enough myelin, your neurons can’t properly transmit signals.
3. It’s highly stable: Saturated fats don’t have double bonds in their tails, making them much less prone to oxidation and damage.
Saturated fats have gotten a bad rap for no reason. Studies show that saturated fat intake has no impact on heart disease risk and may even be protective in some cases. Some of my favorites are grass-fed butter, beef, and coconut oil.
