Lately there have been times where we have been talking about the various benefits we can offer the CLA or conjugated linoleic acid in our body. This has been making the kinds of fatty acids distributed in the form of nutritional supplements to be added to foods to lose weight.

Conjugated linoleic acid occurs naturally in very small quantities in humans and other mammals, as well as vegetable oil. But in ruminants that produce much, then it is in the fat of these animals, and especially in their milk, where we can find them more abundant.

Note that the name refers to the fatty acid conjugated isomers depending on the variety of their structures, such as cis, -9, 11, the most abundant in nature and trans-10, cis-12, which are most commonly found in nutritional supplements.

So far, CLA caused a number of benefits for our bodies, such as decreased appetite and an increase in the regulation of energy metabolism. This will translate into an increase in diseases such as type II diabetes, overweight and obesity, arteriosclerosis and heart disease, as well as anti-cancer action.

But it has been shown that dietary supplements enriched with CLA isomers trans causing significant damage in the kidneys of mice studied. Research conducted by a team from the Center for Cardiovascular Research Superior Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) and the Institute of Catalan Studies Cardiovasculares. Results have been published in Frontiers in Bioscience.

This study shows that this type of trans fatty acids can cause various negative effects such as inflammation, hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, increased oxidative stress, atherosclerosis, and excessive accumulation of fat in the liver.

Knowing this, the best advice is to not overuse this product in a prolonged and uncontrolled as the method to lose weight, because, though not yet shown a negative effect on humans (because of lack of study because they all have a period of more than one year) , is highly unlikely that the consumption benefit. Another recommendation is to know the type of isomer is the product that we consume, be careful not to consume any type of trans isomers of CLA.

3% of the total cholesterol comes in through the diet. The body does the rest itself. There is also a regulatory mechanism that the liver creates cholesterol less if the food comes through and vice versa.

Cholesterol diet.

The best thing you can do with high cholesterol is to follow a cholesterol-lowering diet. It is important that you have enough anti-oxidants and vitamins B-gets. Make sure that you have no Tran’s fats and refined carbohydrates in them. Tran’s fats are almost non-existent in nature but are created in the factory, through which liquid vegetable oils are hardened. Ensure adequate fruits, vegetables, oily fish and olive oil.

Trans fats can be found at:

* Cake and pie
* Coffee (except coconut creamer)
* Baking cooking and frying (except coconut obscenity go)
* Fried in hot oil products
* Pizza, chips and pretzels
* Ready products which contain hydrogenated vegetable oil

Avoid linoleic.

It is advised to reduce linoleic acid and linolenic acid enriched products especially no use because we have little capacity to convert linoleic acid, linoleic acid which in turn can cause stacking and stacking that lets you get back inflammation (atherosclerosis).

Remind sugar.

Sugar and refined carbohydrates like wit eel, soft drinks, ready products, ensure that the triglyceride rise and consume vitamin B for processing. It is best to sugar products as much as possible.

Many fish, olive oil and coconut.

Fish contains omega 3 fatty acid. This is an anti-inflammatory and cholesterol-lowering effect. In fatty fish such as tuna, salmon, eel, herring, sardines and mackerel are many omega 3 fats. Advised at least 3 times a week to eat oily fish.

Olive.

Fry in olive oil as much as possible because this much oil acids and cholesterol and it is inflammatory. Also, it prevents the triglyceride decrease significantly.
