NUTRITION NOTES

Show Your Body Some Love

February is National Heart Month. Heart health is greatly influenced by the foods that we choose to eat. There are heart-healthy fats that can help lower our unhealthy cholesterol and raise our healthy cholesterol. These heart-healthy fats have many names, but are most commonly referred to as unsaturated fats or omega-3 and omega-9 fats. These heart-healthy fats can help raise our HDL cholesterol levels, which is the cholesterol that is protective for our body. Heart-healthy fats are found in olive, canola, avocado, and sunflower oils. Other heart-healthy fats include nuts, salmon and avocado! The fats that are less healthy are typically found in red meats, dessert items and full-fat dairy products, such as whole milk and cheese. Incorporating more sources of heart-healthy fats in place of the less nutritious options can be a great way to show your body some love this month!
