HEALTHY FATS: A BETTER CHOICE FOR LIFE

** ******** **Fats Using By Me in My Daily Life** ******** * DesiGhee: I belong to a village and we mostly use Desi ghee in all our containments of food in our villages. For example for cooking, salad dressings, on toasts. Desi ghee is full of energy and using this gives dishes a different kind of taste and aroma. * Olive Oil Use: In cities, we mostly use olive oil in our homes, due to the abundance of mono-saturated fatty acids. This oil is very beneficial for health, as it prevents heart diseases in humans. * Nuts and Seeds: I often in my free time during working hours using Almonds, Walnuts and pistachio. They are delicious to taste, also they contain healthy fats, which are healthy for our bodies. ******** **Difference between Healthy and Unhealthy FATS: A Quick Guide** ******** > The healthy fats are fats that are mostly unsaturated and mono-saturated in nature they increase the good cholesterol level in the body and decrease the bad cholesterol level in the body reducing the risk of heart diseases. > The unhealthy fats are the ones that are not absorbed in our bodies and are retained in our bodies and Raise the bad cholesterol levels and increasing heart disease and heart strokes cases. ******** **Healthy fat Sources** ******** Fishes| Salmon fish and marcel are rich in omega 3 fatty acids --|-- Nuts and Dry Fruits| full of healthy fats, and nutrients Olive Oil| A mandatory kitchen ingredient, full of mono-saturated fats. ******** **Unhealthy fats sources:** ******** > **Processes and Half-Processed Meat**: Sausage and animal bones are used to make fats in many developing nations. > **Fried Products**: Fried fast food products like fries, and chicken are a source of unhealthy fats > **Packed Snacks**: The same oil used for the tonnes of snack frying is not beneficial for health. ******** **My Routine of Using Healthy Fats: A Daily Quick Review** ******** Morning| 7:00 am| Breakfast cooking with olive oil --|--|-- Snacks|11; 00 am | I use dry fruit, nuts like almonds, flaxseeds, etc. Lunch| 2:00 pm| I sprinkle seeds on my meal of lunch which contains healthy foods Evening| 8; 00 pm| I use the sources of food which are good sources of healthy fats for example fish.
