Choosing healthy fats


Rather than cutting fat out of your diet, make smart choices about the types of fat you eat. Saturated fat and trans fat—the “bad fats”—increase your risk for certain diseases, including heart disease and stroke. But polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats—the “good fats”—actually contribute to your health and vitality, support your mood, and help you maintain a healthy weight.
Foods rich in healthy fats include:
  • olive and canola oil
  • olives
  • nuts
  • fish and seafood
  • peanut butter
  • avocados
