Let’s be clear: we need fat in our diet, it helps supply energy. Fat provides linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid for growth, healthy skin and metabolism. It also helps absorb fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K). And, face it, fat adds flavour and is satisfying, making us feel fuller, keeping hunger at bay. Monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats are two types of unsaturated fatty acids, which are derived from vegetables and plants. Some studies have shown that these kinds of fats can actually lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and maintain HDL (good) cholesterol.
