Fat consumption in a healthy diet
A healthy and balanced diet requires the consumption of fats because the human body needs these for the synthesis of hormones, for the absorption of some vitamins, to give structure to cells, and to regulate metabolism. Healthy fats are found in foods such as avocados, nuts, seeds and olive oils and fatty fish, they are essential for health and should be included in a balanced diet. On the other hand, some fats should be avoided such as saturated fats and trans fats. Saturated fats are found in products of animal origin such as meats, sausages and milk products; excessive consumption of them is associated with the risk of cardiovascular disease. Trans fats are created through an industrial hydrogenation process of liquid vegetable oils to convert them into solid fats, are found in processed foods, and have also been shown to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Eating a balanced diet has a strong preventive role in preventing cardiovascular complications, the appearance of metabolic pathologies such as diabetes, fatty liver, obesity and problems associated with cholesterol.
