so today we’re gonna talk about the

dangers of not absorbing fat so many

people are concerned with the dangers of

fat let’s talk about the dangers of not

absorbing fat and this is a very common

situation

do we need fat is it essential well it

is because there’s such a thing as

essential fatty acids okay

there’s also essential amino acids but

there’s no such thing as an essential

carbohydrate so let’s say for example

you’re not absorbing fat what’s going to

happen well first of all you’re going to

be deficient in something called

essential fatty acids there’s two main

ones DHA and EPA these are omega-3 fatty

acids there’s also a ala but that’s kind

of a precursor that turns into the

active form of omega-3 fatty acids

omega-3 fatty acids are very very

important in preventing heart disease

inflammation you need it for your your

eyes your brain your nervous system many

many different functions so you’ll be

deficient in essential fatty acids you

may also be deficient in vitamin E which

is essential for protecting the lining

of the vascular system it’s essential

for oxygen in the muscles this is why if

you’re deficient in vitamin E you’re

gonna feel very weak in your muscles

also skin pituitary function hormone

function vitamin D oh my gosh that’s

calcium metabolism immune system if

you’re deficient in vitamin D you’re

gonna you’re gonna be sad you’re gonna

you might be depressed you might have a

low back pain and a lot of other issues

low vitamin A so you’re driving at night

you can’t see in the dark that well you

have sinus issues sleep apnea poor

immune system vitamin k1 you’re not

clotting you’re getting bruising things

like that vitamin k2 calcium buildup in

the kidney and the arteries in the

joints as arthritis and you’re gonna

have problems using cholesterol which is

needed and all of your cell membranes

it’s needed to make certain hormones

like all the sex hormones cortisol which

is the stress hormones you need

cholesterol for the brain

for the nervous system unique

cholesterol to make bile okay that helps

you break down fats so some of the

symptoms that you may experience if

you’re now dropping fat would be fatty

pale stool your stool actually floats

doesn’t sink foul-smelling stool

protruded abdomen you’re getting a lot

of bloating a lot of gas weak muscles

scoliosis could be another symptom your

vision is very poor ataxia which is

coordination problems gait problems when

you’re walking you feel clumsy you keep

bumping into things damage to the retina

of the eye and you have vision problems

all right so what are some of the causes

of not absorbing fat well anything

that’s gonna damage the lining of the

gut

Crohn’s irritable bowel syndrome celiac

which is a from gluten cystic fibrosis

which is a genetic condition of the lung

where you’re producing a lot of mucus

and you have a hard time breathing liver

damage and I’m talking about a fatty

liver cirrhosis of the liver

inflammation of the liver so the more

fat you have on the liver the less

you’re going to produce bile the less

you’re going to absorb fatty acids so if

you have a fatty liver the absorption of

these key things are going to be

diminished and of course if you have

your gallbladder removed

you’re not going to store the amount of

bile that you had you’ll still get some

drainage but you won’t have the full

capacity of the bile salts so I would

recommend to take purified bile salts

and by the way taking purified bile

salts is just one thing you should do if

you have a problem absorbing fat the

other things that you should do would be

taking maybe something like a good

probiotic because 90% of the bile is

recycled in the gut so that’s important

as well and you may need to take some of

these nutrients in higher amounts so we

can bypass the damage in the colon which

is a barrier in the absorption all right

problem with the pancreas let’s say

you’re not able to produce the enzymes

necessary like the lipase is and things

that are necessary to break down and

absorb these fats or let’s you have

diabetes well if you have a problem with

diabetes

chances are you’re also going to a

problem with the enzymes that are

produced by the pancreas because the

pancreas does two things it makes

enzymes to digest certain things and it

also makes endocrine hormones insulin

glucagon to help regulate blood triggers

all right then we actually gets a

stomach acid so if you don’t have enough

stomach acid you may have a hard time

releasing the bile from the gallbladder

because they both work together and

lastly if you had gastric bypass for

weight loss that can actually diminish

your ability to absorb fats all right so

now that you’re aware of some of the

consequences and dangers of not

absorbing fat the next thing is to

basically find out which one of these is

the cause okay I have a lot of videos on

these as an individual topic and I’m

going to put some links down below so

you can get more more information on

that alright guys thanks for watching
