The Two Types of Fat
兩類脂肪
Fat is a concentrated source of energy.
脂肪是能量的主要來源,
It can be divided into two main groups—saturated and unsaturated.
它有飽和與不飽和兩大類。
Saturated fat is generally solid at room temperature and is usually from animal sources.
飽和脂肪在常溫下是固體,通常來源于動物。
It's found in butter, hard margarine, cheese, whole milk and anything that contains these ingredients,such as cakes, chocolate, biscuits, pies and pastries.
黃油,硬人造黃油,奶酪,全脂牛奶和含有這些成分的其他食物,如蛋糕,巧克力,餅干,餡餅和酥皮糕點,都含有飽和脂肪。
It's also the white fat you can see on red meat and underneath poultry skin.
它也是白脂肪,在紅肉上以及家禽皮下都能見到。
Unsaturated fat is usually liquid at room temperature and generally comes from vegetable sources.
不飽和脂肪在常溫下是液體,通常來源于植物。
Unsaturated vegetable oils are generally a healthier alternative to saturated fat and can be found in sesame, sunflower, soya, olive oil, soft margarine and in foods such as oily fish, including sardines and salmon.
不飽和植物油比飽和脂肪更艱苦,含有不飽和脂肪的食物有:芝麻,向日葵,大豆,橄欖油,軟植物黃油和富含脂肪的魚,包括沙丁魚和鮭魚。
The value of saturated and unsaturated fat in our diets isn't fully understood yet,but generally, eating too much saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of heart disease.
飽和與不飽和脂肪對我們的作用仍未明確,但通常來說,食用過量的飽和脂肪會增加心臟疾病的風險。
Where possible, you should ensure that the fat you eat is unsaturated.
只要可以,就應該確保食用的脂肪是不飽和的。
