Fat is a vital nutrient that our bodies need to absorb vitamins, produce energy, and maintain our brain and heart health. Of course, not all fats are created equal and everything should be consumed in moderation, but good fats…
-
Reduce hunger and help us feel satiated after eating, which can help with weight loss. Fat does not make you fat!
-
Provide the most concentrated and efficient source of energy to power our bodies.
-
Improve neuroplasticity, support learning, and improve memory, focus and mental clarity.
-
Play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy cholesterol level and reducing our risk of heart disease and stroke.
Yes! Fats can absolutely be healthy, necessary, and beneficial!
Some good sources of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats include avocados, cheese, dark chocolate, eggs, fish, nuts, seeds, soy milk, tofu, and canola, olive, peanut, safflower, and sesame oils.
Use healthy fats to your advantage and you will be surprised what a difference it makes!
