| Top 7 Healthy Fatty Foods |
We usually get to hear that fat is blamed for all of
life’s ails. I agree to the fact that fat makes us gain weight and does
contribute to various chronic diseases. Some fats or saturated fat are good for
our health. Fats help in increasing our HDL cholesterol or good cholesterol and
tend to decrease the risk of heart disease.
In this article, I shall be sharing the top 7
healthy fatty foods that are good for you and you can eat them without any
guilt in your mind.
The top 7 healthy fatty foods are as follows:
Avocados

Avocados are high in fat. Most of the fat present in
avocados is heart-healthy kind and monounsaturated in nature which actually
helps in lowering the level of bad cholesterol. Though, eating under moderation
is suggested, but you can have one medium avocado or replacing mayo with
avocado slices on your sandwich will be a better option.
Eggs

Eggs are good source of protein. They are healthy
and inexpensive in nature. We all know that egg yolk contains good amount of fat
along with some vital nutrients. Thus these eggs are good for our body. It not
only controls our nervous system and brain but also tends to improve heart
health.
Olive
Oil

Olive oil is majorly used in all Mediterranean
recipes which is one of the best healthy diets. It reduces the risk of heart
disease, blood pressure and many types of cancer. But 1 tbsp of olive oil
contains 100 calories; therefore it is suggested to consume it under moderation
especially if you are watching your weight.
Nuts

Nut eaters are usually seen thin and are less prone
to heart disease. Almonds, pistachios and walnuts are good for our overall
health. They are a very rich source of various nutrients like vitamin E,
omega-3s and carotenoids that tend to keep us fit and healthy.
Nut
butter

Nut butter is yet another source of healthy fats.
Amongst them, butter from peanut is the best. You can use cashew butter or
almond butter if you want to try some more nut butters. These butters tend to
boost fiber and protein intake which is good for our health.
Coconut

| Top 7 Healthy Fatty Foods |
Do you know one ounce of coconut contains more
saturated fat than butter? Health experts also have suggested to not to
over-consume coconut cause it may clog your arteries. But don’t worry; I have a
good new here. Coconut when consumed under moderation helps in protection our
heart against many serious diseases and tends to boost the level of good
cholesterol. This makes it healthy for our body but when consumed under
moderation.
Sour
cream

| Top 7 Healthy Fatty Foods |
You have been hearing to avoid sour cream if you
wish to stay fit. Though the fact that it contains a lot of fat can not be
denied, but you really need to know the brighter side of sour cream. Normal
serving of sour cream is 2 tbsp. This provides 52 calories that is half the
amount of fat present in 1tbsp mayonnaise and less than the amount of saturated
fat which you get from 12 ounce of reduced-fat milk. One essential thing to
keep in mind is, you get natural healthy animal fat when you consume sour
cream, and not that dangerous trans-fat which is harmful for health. Therefore,
it is proved that sour cream is also healthy in nature if taken under
moderation.
They say ‘Moderation is the key to healthy and happy
life’. I totally agree with it. Excessive of everything is bad. All the listed
foods are healthy for our body if we consume them under moderation.
