🥑 Good Fats vs Bad Fats: What You Actually Need to Know
When people hear the word fat, they think of butter and greasy food. But there is a huge difference between fats that hurt you and fats that help you.
Good fat sources include:
- Avocados
- Sesame seeds
- Walnuts and tree nuts
- Peanuts
- Fatty fish and scallops
These fats support your brain, reduce inflammation, and help your body absorb vitamins. Walnuts can even last up to two months in a jar - easy to store and always on hand.
Eating for the season matters too. In summer heat, your body wants light, fresh food - not heavy cooked meals. That is why dishes like crudo (fresh, raw food with no cooking oils) are perfect for warm weather.
Scallops are a great summer food - naturally rich in good fats and protein, and delicious when kept simple.
