Choose Healthier Fats for Your Keto Diet
Consider swapping some saturated fats for monounsaturated fats to improve cholesterol levels.
- Avocados, olive oil, nuts, and nut butters are good sources of monounsaturated fats.
- Polyunsaturated fats, like omega-3s, may also lower triglyceride levels and increase HDL cholesterol.
- Include foods like flax seeds, chia seeds, walnuts, and fatty fish in your keto diet for these benefits.
Keep your heart health in mind when choosing fats on a keto diet. 🥑
