Cardiologists and dietitians confirm that eating a heart-healthy diet doesn’t mean you have to completely avoid certain “bad” fats. In fact, some of these fats can play a beneficial role in maintaining cardiovascular health. Experts emphasize that not all fats are created equal, and incorporating specific types into your diet can offer significant health benefits.
Trans fats and saturated fats, often labeled as unhealthy, can be found in various foods. However, recent research suggests that some saturated fats, particularly those from natural sources like coconut oil and dairy, may not be as harmful as previously thought. Additionally, certain trans fats, like those found in animal products, can be beneficial in moderation.
Moreover, unsaturated fats, including monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, are essential for heart health. Foods rich in these fats, such as avocados, nuts, and olive oil, can help lower bad cholesterol levels and reduce inflammation. By understanding the nuances of dietary fats, individuals can make informed choices that support their heart health without feeling deprived.
