Bebo Light plant-based low-fat margarine for a nature-friendly and healthy diet
Bebo's Light margarine products are plant-based and rich in essential omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
Healthy blood cholesterol levels
In addition to all the benefits for people and nature, plant-based spreadable and liquid margarines - both the low-fat and regular-fat varieties - are better for your health than butter. This is because soft low-fat margarines, regular-fat margarines and vegetable oils contain unsaturated fats, also known as ‘good’ fats. These vegetable oils are rich in omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Butter has a high content of saturated fats, i.e. ‘bad’ fats. Replacing saturated fatty acids with unsaturated fatty acids lowers cholesterol levels and reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease. So Bebo Light is a health-conscious choice!
Fats and a healthy lifestyle
Fats are not only a source of energy, they are also important building blocks for our body. Even so, ‘fat’ has a bad reputation. This is due to the unhealthy nutritional effects of saturated fatty acids. Their counterparts, the unsaturated fatty acids, are exactly what we need. For example, omega-3 and omega-6. These are essential fatty acids that our body cannot produce on its own. We have to obtain them from dietary sources such as margarines.
Once ingested, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids compete with each other in metabolic processes involving the same enzyme. And because they have opposite effects, a healthy diet should contain a balanced omega-6/omega-3 mix. Humans evolved by eating a diet with an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio of about 1: 1. Modern Western diets have an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio of between 15: 1 and 17: 1. So dieticians recommend increasing our intake of omega-3 by consuming foods rich in omega-3, such as fatty fish and vegetable oils like flaxseed oil and rapeseed oil
