Healthy Fats: Must-Have Foods for a Balanced Diet

 

Avocado: Avocados are a great source of healthy monounsaturated fats, which can help lower bad cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.

Nuts and seeds: Almonds, walnuts, flaxseeds, chia seeds, and hemp seeds are all rich in healthy fats, including omega-3 fatty acids.

Fatty fish: Fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines are excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids. These fats are beneficial for heart health and have anti-inflammatory properties.

Dark chocolate: Dark chocolate with a high cocoa content (70% or higher) contains healthy fats and antioxidants. It can be enjoyed as an occasional treat.

Coconut oil: While high in saturated fats, coconut oil is unique because it contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which can be utilized by the body for energy.
