If you are trying to lose belly fat, or are concerned about your heart, don’t stop eating fats. Instead, try replacing the bad fats with good fats.

Monounsaturated Fats:

Monounsaturated fats lower total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol, known as the bad cholesterol. At the same time, monounsaturated fats increase HDL cholesterol,the good cholesterol. Peanuts, walnuts, almonds, pistachios, avocados, olives, canola oil, and olive oil are all high in monounsaturated fats. These fats also help in weight loss and help reduce body fat.

Polyunsaturated Fats:

Polyunsaturated fats also lower total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol. Seafoods like salmon and fish, as well as corn, soy, safflower, and sunflower oils are high in polyunsaturated fats. Ideally, look for polyunsaturated fats that contain omega-3 fatty acids, like flaxseed oil, hemp oil, pumpkin seeds, walnuts or oily fish.

By adding these fats to your daily diet, you will achieve that healthy lifestyle you so badly crave.
