The physical definition of fat is chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms, bonding together. The difference of good and bad fat is the length and the geometry of its carbon chains and numbers of hydrogen associated in it. Chemically, they are triesters of glycerol and fatty acids.
Poly-unsaturated fats contains 2 or more double bonds in the chemical chain. Since it is one hydrogen atoms deficit on the molecule's surface, leading to significant lowering melting temperature than other fats. It is also liquid in the room temperature. It contains most important essential fatty acids Omega 3 and 6. Since our body can not make them, we have to take them regularly.
a) Heart health
Poly-unsaturated fat helps to lower the levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) and increases the levels of good cholesterol, thereby reducing the risk of breaking off of the arteries and hypertension, the leading causes of heart diseases and stroke.
b) Cells membrane
It is also plays an important roles in boosting the interconnected cells in the body, leading to more balance and responsive function of the cells.
c) Blood thinner
It contains high levels of eicosopentaenoic acid, the raw materials which is needed to increase the function of prostaglandins hormone in reducing the sticky platelets.
d) Arterial wall movement
It helps to improve the contraction and relaxation of arterial wall, by lowering the levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) which may attach to the arterial wall and harden the wall of the arteries.
e) Inflammation
It also increases the immune function in regulating the cells oxidation as well as irregular cell growth, causing inflammation.
f) Prostaglandins hormones
The balance of Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids help to increase the liver function of fat metabolism, leading to decreasing the risk of over production of certain hormones in the prostaglandins hormones, thus helping to local response of other hormones. Deficiency of essential fatty acids increase the risks of heart diseases, asthma and premenstrual syndrome.
