Good Fats

The good fats for your diet are unsaturated fats. Either poly or mono unsaturated are the fats to get in your diet. Since I've talked about this before, none of this is particularly new, unless you haven't read this blog before.

These good fats can help decrease total cholesterol levels and there is evidence that they may decrease the risk for diseases such as high blood pressure, depression, Alzheimer's, and rheumatoid arthritis.

Some of the fats to choose are olive oil. If you're going to use a fat, it is probably the best one to use. Of course you want to use extra virgin. Canola and flaxseed oil are probably the other two oils I would recommend. Flaxseed oil has a particular flavor that for some is not as tasty as olive oil.
