Monounsaturated fats vs. polyunsaturated fats-
Do you have any idea what the difference is? I do this for a living and I’m confused! So here it is:
Monounsaturated fats are heart helpers. By replacing saturated fats with healthy fats, you help lower total cholesterol levels (LDL and HDL). By positively affecting these levels, you cut your risk of fatty acid buildup in your arterial walls, which can lead to heart disease. Monounsaturated fats can be found in nuts, seeds, popcorn, olives, olive oil, avocado and canola oil.
Polyunsaturated fats, including omega-3’s and omega-6 fatty acids, are the 2 types of essential fats. Both 3’s and 6’s have anti-inflammatory properties, but the 3’s are more fat-burning. Polyunsaturated fats are found in fish, walnuts flax seed, flaxseed oil and soybean oil.
