Although it may sound odd to most, there are such things as good fats, believe it or not. One of those fats is called monounsaturated fats, which can be found in canola, olive, peanut, avocado, and other nut oils. It’s also found in olives, seeds, nuts, nut butter, avocados, and legumes. Another good fat that would be on the list is polyunsaturated fats. This type of fat can be found in vegetable oils like sunflower, corn, and safflower. It’s also found in soybeans, corn, legumes, nuts, seed, and some types of grains. 

A thirst good fat to add to the list would be omega-three fatty acids. These can be found in “oily” fish, such as herring, salmon, mackerel, and sardines. Omega 3 fatty acids are also found in flaxseeds, flaxseed oil, and walnuts. When these fatty acids come from fish, they are especially good for your health. As you know, you should avoid or limit your intake of “bad” fats, which include trans and saturated fats. They are found in fried food, snack foods, fast food, and baked goods. “Bad” fats can increase your cholesterol level, as well.
