Fats

When you hear the word "fat" you think of a cheeseburger, or a slice of pepperoni pizza, in other words, stuff that would be better left uneaten, right? Well, that statement is half-right. While it is true that a lot of fats, especially saturated fats, can be found in cheeseburgers and the like, that doesn't mean that fats are always bad. In fact, we need fats in order to survive. With that said, that DOESN'T mean that you should scarf down as many hot dogs, french fries, and pizzas as possible. You need to moderate how much fats you eat, and what kinds of fats you eat. Fatty fish, for example, have fat in them, but they also have Omega-3 which is a healthy and important mineral. Other important fat rich foods are nuts, olives, canola oil, and avocados.
