Are You Getting Your Good Fat?

Fat has made a comeback into our diets. Even though BAD FATS increase cholesterol and the risk of certain diseases, such as heart disease and cancers, GOOD FATS protect your heart and support overall health.

GOOD FATS—such as omega-3 fats, play a huge role in helping you manage your moods, stay on top of your mental game, fight fatigue, and even control your weight. Don’t cut out all fats. Make healthy choices by replacing BAD FATS with good ones that promote health and well-being.

GOOD FATS to include in your diet are high quality OLIVE OIL, avocados, olives, fatty fish such as salmon and nuts. BAD FATS to avoid are trans fats found in commercially-baked pastries, packaged snack foods, high-fat cuts of meat and fried foods.

So start adding more olive oil into your diet, use butter instead of margarine, eat yummy guacamole and create tasty olive oil based dressings for your salads. Look for our yummy good-fat recipes in upcoming newsletters!
