Fats: A good component of your survival storage plan

Fat is necessary for existence and health.  Your body needs it and the type of fat you take in is all important.  One thing that makes sense is to stick with proven sources of fat that have been considered healthy for thousands of years.

#1 is Olive Oil.
I use olive oil for most recipes that won't be overwhelmed by the taste.  Adding some into a salad is perfect and mixing it into bread, mac and cheese, tuna salad, chicken salad, or even your protein shake makes for a substantial gain to your proper mix of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates.  It stores well for regular use and should be rotated.  You can tell by the smell when it goes rancid.  Here is a site that gives you some of the benefits of olive oil as a food source.

#2 is Coconut Oil
Using this newly popular source of fat is a great way to supplement your fat intake with an energy source that is shelf stable for long periods of time.  It can be spread on a sandwich or used to cook.

Here is a great article on the prepper uses of coconut oil.
