The Good Fat and the Bad!

What kind of fat are you putting in your system? The good or the bad? Healthy fats come in the form of nuts, seeds, healthy oils (think coconut for cooking and olive for eating), and more. Even a small amount of saturated fat is necessary in our diets, but lets get it in small doses from plant sources (think, avocados). I discuss a lot of healthy options in the Eat-Clean Diet.

Trans fats are BY FAR the ugliest fats we can put in our body. They have been littering our food for years! Many cities and businesses have made efforts to remove these toxic elements from foods. The likely culprits? Processed foods. A no-fail way to avoid trans fats is to Eat Clean! But how can we work to get rid of trans fats from our foods for good? Aside from making healthier choices we can also support Canada's Heart and Stroke Foundation in their campaign to kick the trans fat habit. Read, learn, and participate here. Our kids don't need to pollute their body with harmful added and unnecessary extras. Let's give them the Eat Clean boot!
