- Which fats you should limit or avoid?
- Which are better for you than others?
- Which foods contain which types of fat?
- How many calories – and how much fat – you should eat each day?
- If foods labeled “trans fat-free” are always healthy?
If you know the answers to the above, then give yourself a pat on the back. According to a survey conducted for the American Heart Association (AHA), less than than half of Americans know that the “better” fats (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated) can help reduce their risk of heart disease, and you’re probably one of them!
To increase awareness about healthy fats and to help people make better fat choices, AHA has created the Face the Fats website. You’ve got to see it! The website contains possibly everything you want to know about fats, the good and the bad, in easily digestible language.
Go, visit the website, know more about fats and healthy eating choices, and meet these characters: the Better Fats Sisters, Mon and Poly and the Bad Fats Brothers, Sat and Trans.

​I love eating oily and fatty food before. One time, i felt my heart was palpitating and my BP is high and my doctor told me to stop eating those foods and advised me to take Omega 3 Fish Oil Ultimate to help my body to protect my heart and boost the health of my cardiovascular system. So, i decided to try it and it is effective together with proper diet and exercise.
