Healthy fats for Health



Here’s a list of healthy fats that are essential for good health and balanced nutrition:

Monounsaturated Fats (Heart-Healthy)


  • Avocados
  • Olive oil (extra virgin)
  • Nuts (almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, pecans, macadamia nuts)
  • Nut butters (almond, peanut, cashew)
  • Sesame oil

Benefits: Reduce bad cholesterol (LDL), improve heart health, and support weight management.

Polyunsaturated Fats (Omega-3 & Omega-6)

  • Fatty fish (salmon, sardines, mackerel, tuna, trout)
  • Chia seeds
  • Flaxseeds & flaxseed oil
  • Walnuts
  • Sunflower seeds & sunflower oil
  • Soybeans & soybean oil

Benefits: Support brain health, reduce inflammation, improve skin health, and protect the heart.

Healthy Saturated Fats (In Moderation)

  • Coconut oil (virgin/unrefined)
  • Dark chocolate (70% or higher cocoa)
  • Grass-fed dairy (yogurt, cheese, milk, ghee)
  • Eggs

Benefits: Provide energy, support hormone production, and help absorb fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K).

Fats to Limit or Avoid

  • Trans fats (found in processed snacks, margarine, fried foods)
  • Refined vegetable oils (corn oil, canola oil, palm oil in excess)
  • Packaged junk food (cookies, chips, fast food with hydrogenated oils)
Tip for balance:

  • About 25–35% of daily calories can come from healthy fats.
  • Combine fats with fiber (veggies, whole grains) for better absorption and satiety.

Daily Healthy Fats Plan

Morning

  • 1 tablespoon flaxseeds or chia seeds (in water, smoothie, or sprinkled on oats)
  • 4–5 soaked almonds + 2 walnuts
Lunch

  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil (as salad dressing or drizzle over veggies)
  • ½ avocado (or 2–3 tablespoons guacamole)
  • Grilled fish (2–3 times a week) or paneer/tofu for vegetarians
Evening Snack

  • Handful of mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, pistachios, walnuts)
  • Green tea with 1 piece of dark chocolate (70%+)
Dinner

  • Stir-fry veggies with 1 teaspoon sesame oil or coconut oil
  • Lentils/beans with ghee (1 teaspoon)
  • Optional: Salmon or mackerel once or twice a week
Weekly Healthy Fat Rotation

  • Monday: Olive oil + almonds + flaxseeds
  • Tuesday: Avocado + walnuts + fish
  • Wednesday: Coconut oil + chia seeds + dark chocolate
  • Thursday: Olive oil + sunflower seeds + paneer/tofu
  • Friday: Avocado + ghee + salmon
  • Saturday: Nuts mix + sesame oil + flaxseed powder
  • Sunday: Olive oil + walnuts + egg yolks
Extra Tips

  • Use olive oil for salads, not deep frying.
  • Nuts & seeds: 1 small handful per day (not too much, as they’re calorie-dense).
  • Prefer grilled, baked, or steamed fish over fried.
  • Dark chocolate: 1–2 small squares per day is enough.

For general wellness, the goal is balance — getting enough healthy fats for heart, brain, skin, and energy, without overdoing calories.
