HealthTip: A Fact About Fats

Did you know that not all fats are bad for you?! The ones that can harm your body over time are called saturated and trans fats. These fats are usually solid at room temperature and can clog arteries (blood vessels leading to the heart). Unsaturated fatty acids containing omega 3 and omega 6 are what your body needs! So try some healthy fat by grabbing a hand-full of walnuts in the morning before you run out the door, slicing some avocado into your sandwich for lunch, or sprinkling some toasted sunflower seeds onto a salad or in your oatmeal in the morning!

If you have any health questions, feel free to ask and I'll do some research on your behalf.
Thanks for coming by!
