The benefits of healthy fats
Healthy fats are a type of nutrient, and just like protein and carbohydrates, your body may need some fat for energy, absorbing vitamins, and protecting heart and brain health.
It should be noted that artificial trans fats and saturated fats are responsible for unhealthy things that occur in the body, such as weight gain, clogged arteries, increased risk of certain diseases, and others, but healthy fats, such as unsaturated fats and omega-3 fatty acids, have the opposite effect.
Healthy fats and cholesterol
Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are known as “good fats” because they positively affect heart health and cholesterol.
These fats can help lower the risk of heart disease and stroke, reduce levels of bad LDL cholesterol, while increasing levels of good HDL cholesterol, as well as regulate heart rate, lower the level of triglycerides linked to heart disease, fight inflammation, lower blood pressure, and prevent atherosclerosis. .
Eating more of these healthy fats may also help you feel full following meals, which promotes weight loss.
