For years, fats have been blamed for weight gain and health problems. Many people still believe that all fats are bad, so they avoid them altogether. But here’s the truth: your body needs good fats to stay healthy and not all fats are created equal.
Let’s break it down.
Good Fats: Your Body’s Best Friend
Good fats come from natural sources like avocados, fatty fish, and fruit oils like olive oil, coconut oil and red palm oil (need to omit seeds oil, it uses chemical solvent = high in omega 6). These fats aren’t heavily processed, and they come packed with natural nutrients.
What good fats do for you:
- Support your heart health
- Help your body absorb vitamins A, D, E, and K
- Boost your brain function
- Keep you full longer, which helps with weight management
- Stabilize hormones
Bad Fats: What You Should Watch Out For
Bad fats are usually found in processed foods and refined cooking oils. Many common vegetable oils go through heavy processing like bleaching and deodorising, which strips away nutrients.
What bad fats can do:
- Increase bad cholesterol (LDL)
- Cause inflammation
- Raise your risk of heart disease and obesity
- Add calories with no real nutrition
The Worst Type: Trans Fats
Trans fats are man-made fats, created to give food a longer shelf life. You’ll find them in:
- Partially hydrogenated oils (like some margarine)
- Some baked goods (commercial cakes, pies, pastries, donuts)
- Fried fast food (some fried chicken, fries)
- Some packaged snacks (crackers, microwave popcorn)
Why they’re dangerous:
They raise LDL (bad) cholesterol, lower HDL (good) cholesterol, and increase your risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
