Not all Fats are Created Equal

TODAYS NUTRITION TIP:

For the last couple decades, fat is being blamed as the reason for our country's obesity epidemic in addition to other things like heart disease and high cholesterol. Unfortunately, the "low fat" foods that we are consuming are actually more the culprit. What we need to understand is that the TYPE of fat is what is important. Eating Saturated and Trans fats are never a good idea, but we do need to be sure to get our daily doses of mono and poly unsaturated fats! Try incorporating things like avocado, peanuts, and olive oil into your diet and watch the bodyFAT melt away :)
