Nutrition Corner

Fats aren’t always bad! Unsaturated, saturated, and trans fats all fall into the same macronutrient category, but have different effects on your body. 

Unsaturated fats are considered “good fats,” trans fats are considered “bad fats,” and saturated fats are considered okay in a limited amount. Unsaturated fats help to decrease cholesterol levels in the body to promote brain and heart health. These good fats are liquid at room temperature and are found in nuts, seeds, oils, avocado, eggs, and fatty fish. 

On the other hand, consuming too much saturated fat can increase cholesterol and clog arteries, slowing blood flow throughout the body. While consuming some saturated fat is okay, it is recommended that no more than 10% of your diet come from these fats. 

Choose your fats wisely and make simple substitutions for optimal health! Check out our dairy, egg, meat, seafood, and pecan vendors to incorporate fats into your diet this week and every week!
