Butter is good and healthy: it is digestible and it strengthens the immune system

Fatty foods have always been considered awful enemies of diet and health. Recently, however, it has been discovered that this is not entirely true. In her book "The Big Fat Surprise", nutritionist Nina Teicholz explained that butter is not bad. She studied butter for 9 years, she resumed the research published in 2010 on the American Journal for Clinical Nutrition and showed that there is no clear evidence that saturated fats cause obesity and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, defined the leading cause of death in Western countries.

Actually, the lack of these substances could be harmful to your body. Butter, in particular, seems to be extremely beneficial:

1. It is rich in fatty acids like Omega 3 and Omega 6, essential to produce energy;

So the secret to staying fit is not to eliminate fats, but simply to eat less food.

According to Dr. Teicholz, it is the industrial products that have to be completely eliminated from our diet, especially those defined as light or fat-free, which are food too artificial and stuffed with artificial sweeteners. If you want to have a perfect body, you will not have to look at the amount of fat or calories contained in foods, just choose 100% natural products.
