Assisted
living communities are the best place to consider as a senior living option.
Most such facilities consist of some of the most experienced and compassionate
caregivers who ensure well-being of their residents at all given times. If you
have senior family members who are facing difficulties in carrying out their
day to day work of dressing up, eating, taking medications, etc or if you
notice early signs of Alzheimer’s or Dementia in your loved ones, it is
advisable to opt for an assisted living facility for your senior family
members. Select a facility carefully, you should take a proper tour of the
place prior to making any decision. If you are a resident of Arizona, book a
suite at the award-winning Anthem Senior Living in the Phoenix region where you

At Anthem Senior
Living, nutrition plays a vital part of our commitment to helping senior people
live their lives in the best possible way. Today we are specifically going to
discuss about heart disease and are also going to draw a comparison between fat
and sugar as they increase the risk for someone in getting a heart disease. In
the 80s, adults were encouraged to follow a low-fat diet as eliminating the fat
from the diet was the best way to keep heart diseases at bay as per experts. But
a very important thing which was long overlooked is the amount of sugar that
low-fat foods contained.
Sugar Vs Fat
In the November
of 2016, Sugar Industry and Coronary Heart Disease Research was published in
JAMA Internal Medicine which unveiled a dubious relationship between Harvard
scientists and the sugar industry officials in 1967. As per the investigation,
the researchers at Harvard were asked to downplay just how much sugar
contributed to poor heart health which could be attributed to the falling sugar
industry that were desperate to keep demand for their product high which made
them go to the extent of paying the researchers in concealing the negative
impact of sugar. It is because of this that we have been following this advice
when it comes to incorporating sugar and fat in our daily diet.
Sugar Vs Fat Debate Today
As per
researchers, fat has more calories per gram in comparison to carbs or protein
but cutting back on fat doesn’t necessarily mean weight loss because when fat
is cut from the diet, it is more often than not replaced with foods that have
high sugar content which gives a boost to blood sugar thus fuelling the fat
cells. One should consume healthy fats instead which helps in keeping the blood
sugar in check. Some of the healthy fats include:
·
Walnuts
and almonds
·
Peanut
butter
·
Wild
salmon
·
Flax
seed
·
Olive
oil and canola oil
·
Avocados
·
Grass-fed
beef
·
Coconut
·
Greek
yogurt
·
Eggs
·
Dark
chocolate
