This brain snack is all about an essential macronutrient that is often feared. It’s name is a little misleading and a lot of time is misunderstood as the tissue that accumulates around our midsection as we over consume food. Today we will be talking about dietary fat.

Fat is one of the body’s most basic building blocks. In fact, the average person is made up of between 15 and 30 percent fat.

Yet for decades, we’ve demonized dietary fat. We’ve diligently followed low-fat diets that almost always equate to high-sugar, high-refined-carb diets. This diet contributes to insulin resistance, obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and many other health issues.

However, dietary fats are absolutely essential for health. Think about it: You have more than 100 trillion cells in your body, and every single cell needs to be constructed of high-quality fat. How can your body get this essential component of cells? You guessed it—diet.

So how do you know if your cells are getting enough vital fat? Your body actually sends you signals when it doesn’t get enough good fat—signals you shouldn’t ignore. Some warning signs include:

• Dry, itchy, scaling, or flaking skin
• Soft, cracked, or brittle nails
• Hard ear wax
• Tiny bumps on the back of your arms or on your torso
• Achy and stiff joints
• Memory problems
• Attention deficit disorder
• Diabetes
• Weight gain
• Cancer

If you experience one or more of these symptoms, it could be your body telling you that it’s not getting enough high-quality, essential fats.
