Healthy Fats

We all need fat but only as long as it’s healthy fat. Below are a few types of healthy fats:

Healthy Oils: Extra Virgin Olive Oil (or EVOO as Rachael Ray calls it) and organic coconut oil both show anti-inflammatory and cardio-protective properties. Even though coconut oil is primarily a saturated fat, it’s comprised mostly of medium chain fatty acids, which are easier for your body to mobilize and burn.

Nuts & Seeds: Many nuts & seeds- including almonds, walnuts, and pecans- can help reduce inflammation and support heart health.

Avocados: This healthy fat-based fruit in a veggie suit is full of fiber, potassium, magnesium, and folate.
