Vignette #2 Juan and Rosa are in their late 20s, and both have parents who are experiencing a loss of vitality. Juan's mom has a curved back, and Rosa's mother is obese. Juan's dad has developed depression and Rosa's father has macular degeneration. Juan and Rosa have many questions about how to avoid these conditions in their future if possible. Let's answer these questions to see if we can help them.
Juan is overweight already and Rosa is concerned that if he doesn't lose weight, he will eventually have heart disease. What steps should Juan take to minimize this risk?
A) Eat fewer monounsaturated fats, such as animal fats.
B) Eat more insoluble fiber.
C) Swap saturated fat sources for unsaturated fat sources.
D) Cook with coconut oil.
E) Focus on specific foods to bring about the desired weight loss.

Accepted Answer

Swapping saturated fat sources for unsaturated fat sources can help reduce the risk of heart disease. Monounsaturated fats, found in foods such as animal fats, should not necessarily be eaten in smaller quantities, but rather swapped for healthier fats like polyunsaturated or monounsaturated fats. Insoluble fiber is also beneficial for overall health, but may not specifically affect Juan's risk of heart disease. Cooking with coconut oil, although trendy, is still a fat source and should be used in moderation. Focusing on specific foods to bring about weight loss is important, but not as important as making overall lifestyle changes such as increasing physical activity and reducing calorie intake.
