What Is Hydrogenated Oil, Trans Fat???

Hydrogenated oil is made by forcing hydrogen gas into oil at high pressure. Both animal and vegetable fats can be and are hydrogenated. In general, the more solid the oil is, the more hydrogenated it is.

Oils have been hydrogenated to prolong the shelf life of products (peanut butter, jam, Cheez Whiz) it makes the oils more stable.It also has a higher melting point, and is often used in frying and pastries for this reason (margarine, Crisco...). The chemical structure of the oil is changed, which could result in negative health effects.

The unstable fatty acids in oil are unsaturated fats, which have been determined to be healthier for consumers, acting to reduce cholesterol in some cases. When hydrogenated oil is made, these healthy fats are converted into a new type of fatty acid, known as a trans fat. Trans fats are not at all good for one's health. In some highly hydrogenated oils like margarine, trans fats can make up almost half of the total fat content.

.

Trans fatty acids work to increase LDL, or "bad" cholesterol, and they also decrease HDL cholesterol, which is "good" cholesterol. This means that the fats in hydrogenated oil are far more damaging than even saturated fats, which medical professionals have already determined to be harmful. There is also evidence to suggest that trans fatty acids may bio accumulate in the body, because the digestive system has difficulty figuring out what to do with them. As a result, a diet high in trans fats will result in weight gain.

Consumption of hydrogenated oil has been linked with diabetes, coronary disease, and obesity in a wide number of scientific studies. In the 1990s, many activists began to lobby for clear food labeling, indicating when products contained trans fats. Other activists went further, attempting to ban trans fats because of their detriment to human health. All medical professionals agree that people should limit their consumption of hydrogenated oil to avoid exposure to trans fats, and should eat foods with healthy fats such as nuts, avocado, and olive oil.

Law Of Attraction...

The following video is very inspirational. It really gives you the feeling that you can go out in the world and succeed at anything that you put your mind to accomplishing. That is what "The Law of Attraction " is all about...what you put out in the Universe, you attract and bring into your daily life.

I am also a strong believer that the way you treat others eventually comes around. If you treat others with respect and as equals you get that back. If you treat them as lower than you, that can only bring negative vibes into your life...think about that..

No one can stop you from living out your dreams except for yourself. You can  become who you want to become in life but you have to invest time and effort into it. It will not fall from the sky, it has to be earned.
Life is a gift and we were all placed on this earth to do something special with our individual talents, please don't waste them and say later on in life..."I should have..."

"The Secret"( book and video)  really made me realize while I was living my weight loss journey,that I could do whatever I dreamed of doing if I just put my positive thoughts to work. It gave me the courage to get through days that didn't seem as easy and it made me a stronger person.

I always try to turn a negative situation into a positive one because negatives only bring you down in life. You need to surround yourself with positive people and thoughts all of the time. Sure, life will throw us unpleasant challenges at times but we have to try to see how to get over that hump without losing sense of who we are and realizing how strong we really are emotionally and spiritually.Who knows if you keep working at your dreams what you may become one day...like these following individuals soon realized....

We can all be leaders , think for ourselves and show those that are around us that we can make a difference when we set our minds to it. We can all think for ourselves and live by example. We do not need to be followers and believe everything that is said to us daily....we can make up our own minds and live OUR life!!

Stay healthy.....
