The temperatures are falling and will soon settle in the single digits or even below zero.
The cold demands a lot from the organism. In order to be able to counterheat at such temperatures and thus maintain the body temperature, one thing is required: fat! Many animals need an extra portion of this in winter so that they don't get too thin. Fats are also known as lipids in food. They are one of the three possible energy sources for our four-legged friends (fats, carbohydrates, proteins). In addition to its function as a flavor carrier, fat plays an important role in the absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K.
Eat more fat... Fatty acids are used as an important component of the cell membrane, control the water balance and help in the production of certain substances, such as the formation of a vital fatty film around the kidneys. In addition, unsaturated fatty acids have the important ability to form compounds with other substances in the body and thus form substances such as the important prostaglandins.
With the help of oxygen, fats are burned and their energy is released, which is more than twice as high as that of proteins and carbohydrates. Since they stay in the gastrointestinal tract for a longer time, fats are absorbed into the organism later than proteins and are therefore also available later as energy. They can be found in marbled muscle meat, fish and vegetable oils. It is important to ensure that the oils are cold-pressed, as with other production processes valuable fatty acids oxidize due to the heat and can no longer be used by the body.
Only if the melting point of the fats is lower than body temperature can they be used optimally. This means that oils are easier to use than butter, for example. Animal fats are the most suitable for feeding, as they are best used by dogs and cats. In our diet, the term "fat" often has a negative association, as it is often associated with obesity or similar. But fat plays a major role in the diet of our four-legged friends, which should not be underestimated.
Too much fat in the diet leads to storage in the fat deposits and thus to weight gain.
