Tuesday, March 07, 2017
Shira Hirshberg, a Registered and Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist with All Foods Nutrition says fats aren’t necessarily making you fat.
Hirshberg says fat in our food doesn’t mean fat in our body, and eating some types of fats are good for you.
This week, Hirshberg says some fats like polyunsaturated fats and monounsaturated fats are good for your heart. Avocados, nuts, olive oil and other plant based fats are good places to get healthy fats.
