Dietary fat may have a bad reputation, but fat is vital for your health. The body actually needs fat for energy and many critical processes, such as absorbing certain vitamins and minerals.â đŚđđ§đ¨đĽđđ§đđ đđđ§đŚâ Fats that are tightly packed with no double bonds between the fatty acids are called saturated fats. There are some exceptions, but most are solid at room temperature. Some sources of saturated fat include fatty beef and lamb, pork and chicken products, dairy products including cream, whole milk, butter, cheese, coconut, and palm oils.â đ đ˘đĄđ˘đ¨đĄđŚđđ§đ¨đĽđđ§đđ đđđ§đŚâ Research suggests that consuming plant-based monounsaturated fats may help lower your risk for cardiovascular disease and overall mortality. Foods that are highest in monounsaturated fats include olive oil, peanut oil, avocados, most nuts, most seeds.â đŁđ˘đđŹđ¨đĄđŚđđ§đ¨đĽđđ§đđ đđđ§đŚâ Polyunsaturated fats help the body to function. They help with muscle movement and blood clotting. Polyunsaturated fats can be further divided into two types: omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are beneficial for heart health. The best sources of omega-3 fatty acids are fatty fish (sardines, tuna, salmon, trout, herring, and mackerel), oysters, ground flax, and flaxseed oil walnuts, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, and hemp seeds.â đ§đĽđđĄđŚ đđđ§đŚâ Trans fats are found in two forms â natural, which occur in some animal products and arenât considered harmful, and artificial, which are hydrogenated vegetable oils and have serious health consequences. Partially hydrogenated vegetable oils are the largest source of trans fats in your diet because theyâre cheap to manufacture and have a long shelf life. They are found in various processed foods such as vegetable shortening, some margarine and vegetable oils, fried fast foods, frozen pizza, bakery goods (muffins, cakes, pastries, and doughnuts), potato and corn chips, etc #ketolunchideas #ketosislife #ketolicious #ketomealplan #ketodiabetic https://www.instagram.com/p/CP-4f-ngk8i/?utm_medium=tumblr
