Let's Figure Out Fat!

Today I want to talk about how you determine if you’re healthy. What metrics and barometers do you rely on to gauge if you’re healthy? There are many statistically overweight people who have great cardiovascular endurance and can run and you are all familiar with the term “skinny fat” and know people who might be slender and appear to be in shape, but who aren’t actually healthy at all - they’re bodies can’t physically perform at healthy levels.
Then there is the perception of health based solely upon diet and how healthy you eat and live. Important for a good healthy foundation, but if not combined with exercise and a fitness routine, it simply means that you’re eating healthy, not that you’re physically healthy. 
And, all the while, the debate over what fat is good fat, if we should do a diet rich in fat or avoid dairy y’all together continues. Let’s explore the rationale behind each and why, then look at some new ways to determine if you’re as healthy as you think you are. Hint: sleep and self care is included.

All in all, too much saturated fats should be avoided and when in doubt, choose all natural products that might be high in natural fats versus opting for a chemical and additive filled substitute. Simple way to remember: basic is better, simple is smarter, quality over quantity.
