Fats are part of our macronutrients and are needed for survival. Fats are usually associated with weight gain and poor health, which can be correct for some fats (saturated fat found in meat, lard and cream. Also trans fats i.e. cakes, pastries and other baked goods).
However, the fats we need for energy, absorption of vitamins and the decrease of risk in heart disease are those of unsaturated fats.
Great unsaturated fatty foods;
• Nuts
• Seeds
• Avocado
• Olive oil
