Healthy Fat for Healthy Aging



Fats and oils are part of a healthy diet and play many important roles in the body. Fat provides energy and is a carrier of essential nutrients such as vitamins A, D, E, K, and carotenoids. But we have been hearing about low fat advocate and many are not quite sure about what to eat.

For decades, doctors, nutritionists, and health authorities have told us that a diet high in saturated fats raises blood cholesterol and increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. However, the association of dietary fat intake,  cholesterol level, and cardiovascular diseases remains controversial and more studies are needed. We've also learned that eating healthy fats (i.e., avocado, olive oil, and nuts) may help to increase metabolism and burning belly fat. Healthy fats also fill up longer to reduce hunger.  Low-fat is a not fit all solution.  Healthy fat plays important role in late life for brain health and overall well being.
