Healthy fats give your body energy, keep your skin and hair healthy and help you absorb vitamins.
Choose healthy fats found in plant foods, such as nuts, seeds, avocados and vegetable oils.
Add fresh, frozen or canned seafood, such as fatty fish (like tuna, salmon and sardines) to your meals at least twice a week. They provide omega-3 fats that support heart health and brain health.
Limit fats that are solid at room temperature (like butter, coconut oil and lard) and switch to fats that are liquid at room temperature (like olive oil and canola oil)
Reduce less healthy fats in red meat by baking, broiling or roasting instead of frying.
