Avoid trans fats completely

Use olive oil for cooking

Types of Dietary Fats

Unsaturated fats (mono and poly) are heart-healthy. Saturated fat should be limited. Trans fat should be avoided entirely. Omega-3s are essential for brain and heart health.

Healthy Fat Sources

Monounsaturated: olive oil, avocados, almonds. Polyunsaturated: salmon, walnuts, flaxseed. Omega-3: fatty fish, chia seeds. Limit: fatty meats, full-fat dairy, fried foods.

Balancing Fat Intake

Focus on replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats rather than just reducing total fat. Include omega-3 rich foods 2-3 times per week. Read labels to avoid hidden trans fats.
