2. CLASSIFICATION OF FATS

3. The Good: Unsaturated Fats Unsaturated fats come in two forms: a. Monounsaturated fats (Good) b. Polyunsaturated fats (Even Better!) Incorporating healthy fats in your diet can help relieve inflammation, improve blood cholesterol levels, stabilize heart rhythms, and many more. Sources of unsaturated fats include: Olive oil Nuts Seeds 

4. 2.  The Bad: Saturated Fats Saturated fats can be incorporated into a healthy diet. However, It’s highly recommended to consume them moderately. Excessive amounts of them increase heart disease risk factors, including increasing bad cholesterol (LDL), inflammation, cancer risk, and mental decline. Saturated fats are present in: Red meat Cheese Butter

5. 3. The Ugly: Trans Fats Trans fats are notoriously known to be bad for you, especially industrial trans fats.  Overindulging in them can increase the risk of contracting heart problems like heart attacks, strokes and type 2 Diabetes. Trans fats are usually present in processed foods like: Frozen pizza Commercial baked goods Fried foods

6. The easiest way to get your daily dose of healthy fats is through… munching NUTS! Nuts are known to have positive effects on the body's overall health because they contain nutrients such as unsaturated fats, fiber, and so much more.
