For too long has butter been identified as a villain in the quest of good health.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Reducing healthy sources of dietary fat may have contributed to a serious decline in our well-being, and those who speak out against the anti-fat establishment seem to be still largely ignored. Butter is a completely natural food which provides nutrients that are essential to your health – especially when you eat organic. Here are some of the benefits of butter from health and wellness expert, Miss Nutrition, Rhiannon Harris.
BEAUTY OF BUTTER
High in Vitamin A – Great for hair, skin, nails, stomach, immune system, adrenals and thyroid. Butter contains an extremely bioactive and well absorbed form of vitamin A.
High in CLA – Conjugated Linoleic Acid is known to be anti-cancerous and to a lesser extent a fat burning agent.
Source of Palmitoletic Acid – A monounsaturated fat that is GREAT for the heart and circulatory system, protects against infection through antimicrobial and anti-fungal properties.
Contains Butyric Acid -This little gem feeds our good gut bacteria. It also has anti-cancer properties. Low levels of butyric acid in the gut mean our good stomach bacteria don’t thrive and we open ourselves up to infection from parasites, pathogens and increase our risk of things like ulcerative colitis, chromes disease, colon cancer and IBS.
High in Selenium – Selenium is super antioxidant. Crucial for thyroid, metabolism and immune function.
Butter improves absorption of nutrients – Many vitamins and other nutrients are fat soluble. This also means that in the absence of fat they WILL NOT be absorbed effectively by the body. Supplements and even fruits and veges should ALWAYS be consumed with a fat source so you get the most out of them.
Prevents Goiters – Iodine is crucial to many systems in the body especially for pregnant or breastfeeding females. Butter is a great natural source.
Great for cooking – The fats in butter are very stable up to very high temperatures. Cooking with fragile polyunsaturated oils oxidizes the fat in them which then causes ALL kinds of problems in the body.
Anti-Oxidants– Butter Contains anti-oxidants that protects against free radical damage.
Protector– Protects against gastrointestinal infections in the very young or the elderly.
