Did you know that fat is a must-have part of a balanced diet? Unsaturated fats can reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease and improve your heart health. Simply swap saturated fats for better options with these six tips.
Give your veggies a heart-healthy boost. Sauté them in olive oil, not butter. You’ll enjoy all the flavor and get healthy monounsaturated fats and vitamins E and K.
Homemade muffins are a great grab-and-go breakfast. Just use muffin liners, not shortening, to avoid trans fat and keep the batter from sticking to the pan.
Make your salads even healthier. Replace bacon bit toppings with sunflower seeds. This simple swap will add good-for-you unsaturated fats and fiber to your salad.
Layer on the flavor, not the fat. Build your sandwich with avocado slices instead of cheese. The avocado’s unsaturated fats can help lower your LDL (bad) cholesterol.
Keep hunger at bay between meals and continue your healthy progress. Snack on a handful of walnuts, not potato chips. They’re a good source of omega 3 fatty acids, fiber, and antioxidants.
Mooove over beef. Swap steaks, burger, tacos, and meatballs for salmon or sardines. They have omega 3 fatty acids, which help fight inflammation in your body.
