Healthy Fats

Fats play many different roles within the body. Some fatty acids must be provided through diet since they cannot be produced within the body. These are referred to as essential fatty acids. It is wise to choose fat sources that contain high amounts of essential fatty acids. Here are some excellent choices:

• Fish Oil
• Flax Seed Oil
• Olive Oil
• Nuts
• Peanut Butter (without hydrogenated oils)
• Almond Butter
• Borage Oil
• Primrose Oil
• Salmon (also a great choice for protein)
• Egg Yolks (also a great choice for protein)

One final note about choosing fat sources. Saturated fats have gotten a poor reputation but they still have a purpose within the body, and therefore should be included in the diet. Problems only arise from saturated fat intake when excessive amounts are consumed.
Trans fats, on the other hand, serve absolutely no function within the body are are incredibly detrimental to health. Trans fats (also know as hydrogenated oils) should be avoided as much as possible because of their negative side effects
