The GOOD FATS

In my last post I spoke about Trans Fats and Saturated Fats, Today I will Speak about the Healthy Fats these being Unsaturated Fats and is mainly found in Vegetables. This type of fat includes Monounsaturated and Polyunsaturated Fats, monounsaturated fats are olive oil, canola oils and peanut oils. These types of oils remain liquid at room temperature but will thicken when refrigerated this type of fat is considered one of the healthiest type of Fat for your body, which are also found in nuts and avocados. Polyunsaturated Fats are found in soybean , corn oils, and sunflower oils, these type of oils remain liquid at room temperature and also when refrigerated, For this reason it  is also the second best type of fat for your body and does not contribute to the clogging of your arteries. There is yet another type of fat known as unsaturated fat such as vegetable oils which are manufactured into a solid form, which are then turned into trans fats, These types of fats is commonly called fully or partially hydrogenated vegetable oil and can be found on the ingredients label of most processed products. Trans fats are mainly used in foods to protect against spoiling and also to enhance the flavour. Restaurants and fast-food outlets tend to use this type of trans fat allot (hydrogenated vegetable oil), especially for frying. so my friends the next time you go out to eat be wise, not because it is tasting good means that is healthy for your body, know the difference from good fats and bad fats read your labels and try to avoid eating out to much... until then thanks for the Dialogue I'm out.
