Fat Can Be Healthy

With all stories of the evils of tat, one might come to the conclusion that all fats will slowly but undeniably kill you.  Now, the rest of the facts from my favorite publication Men's Health.

Here's a short list of healthy fats:

Does Your Heart Good

Olive Oil - great source of monounsaturated which manages cholesterol levels.  Canola oil carries many of the same wonderful qualities but has an added benefit of enduring a high cooking temperature that makes frying with canola oil preferable.

Walnuts - Yes, the bag shouts loudly that every walnut morsel will carry significant fat content.  But do not be mislead.  Eat as many as you want.  This fat has been rumored to reverse brain aging and certainly has many other beneficial qualities.

Sunflower seeds - Sprinkle a little salt on roasted seeds and you will never remember potato chips.  Sprinkle on oatmeal for a healthy smoothie capable of providing a refreshing snack that is both tasty and full of healthy fats.

Avocados - rich in omega-3s, B vitamins and beta-sitasterol.  As Men's Health says "It's that rare fruit that is heart-healthy and fends off prostate cancer.
