ALL FATS ARE EVIL!

Your body needs fat for vital functioning. It can help slow down the ageing process by keeping skin, hair and nails maintained and also satisfies your hunger for longer. The main thing you have to strive to do is cut out bad fats (saturated fats) found in chocolate, fried foods, butter and processed meats and replace them with good fats (unsaturated fats) which you can find in nuts, seeds, olive oil, and avocados and can help reduce your risk of heart disease. These good fats should be eaten as part of a balanced diet with a variety of foods eaten in moderation.
