Some Of The “Super Healthy” High-Fat Foods We Can Try
Our body needs certain amounts of healthy fats from our diet for proper hormone function, to aid memory, and for the absorption of certain nutrients. Aside from adding flavor into our daily meal, including healthy fats into our diet can also help slow down the digestion of carbohydrates (thereby reducing those blood sugar peaks) and creates a sense of fullness.
All sorts of healthy foods that happen to contain fat have now returned to the "superfood" scene.
Check out below some of the high-fat foods that are actually healthy.
Fatty Fish
Studies revealed that consumption of fish tends to be much healthier as it was associated with a lower risk of heart disease, depression, dementia, and other common diseases. Fatty fish may also help improve inflammatory conditions such as arthritis.
Nuts
Individuals who consume nuts regularly are less likely to become overweight, obese or gain weight in the longer term, according to a 5-year study that was published in the European Journal of Nutrition.
Experts recommend eating a variety of unsalted nuts to take advantage of their various benefits. There are approximately 19 grams in Brazil nuts, 14 g of fat in 1 oz of almonds, and18.5 grams in walnuts.
Avocados
We can use avocado in salads or replace less healthy saturated fats, such as mayonnaise and butter.
Remember that avocados are high in calories, therefore, stick to no more than 1/4 an avocado at a time. We can have 1/5 of a medium avocado to replace the mayo on our sandwich, the sour cream on our baked potato or the butter on our toast.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
We can use olive oil in dressings and while cooking. Just 1 tablespoon of olive oil contains about 120 calories and 14 grams of fat.
