Here are the fats I try to reach for daily (and why you should too 👇):
🥑 Avocado**
A powerhouse of heart-loving monounsaturated fats.
Helps lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and raise HDL (good) cholesterol.
Rich in Vitamin E and folate — making it especially supportive during pregnancy.
🫒 Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Rich in antioxidants and monounsaturated fats.
Its oleic acid helps fight inflammation and regular use has been linked to lower blood pressure.
Best enjoyed raw or drizzled over meals to protect its nutrients.
🥜 Nuts & Seeds
High in healthy fats, low in carbs, and packed with Vitamin E, magnesium, selenium + fibre.
From almonds to pumpkin seeds — these tiny nutrient bombs help lower bad cholesterol and keep blood sugar steady.
🐟 Fatty Fish (like wild salmon, sardines, mackerel)
One of the best natural sources of omega-3 fatty acids.
Supports mood, reduces inflammation, and improves multiple heart-health markers.
A true functional food for mind + body.
🥚 Eggs
A complete protein with essential amino acids.
The yolk contains choline — crucial for brain health, memory, and hormones.
🧈 Butter (preferably grass-fed)
Rich in fat-soluble vitamins A, E, and K2.
Grass-fed butter may even support heart health because of its natural K2 content.
(Still best enjoyed in moderation, but definitely not the villain it was made out to be.)
Let’s normalise nourishing our bodies with healthy fats— the ones that stabilise hormones, support brain health, keep us full, and fuel every cell in our body✨
