Healthy vs. Harmful Fats: What to Eat and What to Avoid

Healthy vs. Harmful Fats: What to Eat and What to Avoid

Which Fats Should You Be Eating?

Not all fats are created equal! In fact, saturated fats aren’t as harmful as once believed—especially when included as part of a balanced diet that’s low in sugar and refined carbs but rich in omega-3s.

On the flip side, consuming too many omega-6 fats, commonly found in vegetable oils, can contribute to chronic inflammation and conditions like fatty liver, arthritis, and IBS. And let’s not forget trans fats—these inflammatory, artery-clogging fats are a definite no-no and should be avoided at all costs!

Healthy Fats to Add to Your Diet:

  • Avocado
  • Grass-Fed Butter & Ghee
  • Coconut Oil
  • Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
