Here are some of the heart healthy oils as well as fats that you can incorporate in your diet:
Oils
If you’re interested in increasing your intake of heart healthy oils and fats, then you could use olive, canola, peanut, as well as sunflower and safflower oils3. You can use these oils when making dressing for salads, as a condiment for your dishes, as well as for frying, sautéing, and cooking in general.
Some types of margarine can also contain healthy fats. If you check the label of these products, it should say non-hydrogenated margarine on the label.
Fish
Fish are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, which is a family of polyunsaturated fats. Healthy fish that you can incorporate in your diet include salmon, tuna, mackerel, and sardines.
Fish also contain roughly the same amount of protein when compared to red meat. So if you’re looking to have healthier meals, you can try substituting fish for meat instead.
