“Good fats, polyunsaturated fatty acids (linoleic, linolenic and arachidonic) are essential for the proper functioning of the body and as we can not synthesize in the body, must come from food.
These substances are beneficial to health because they help prevent diseases like cancer, diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, and autoimmune disorders, as well as collaborate in their treatment.
Olive oil and seed is rich in g-linolenic acid and fish oil is rich in eicosapentaenoic acid-EPA and-DHA-docosahexaenoic acid.
Another source of healthy fats are functional foods enriched with polyunsaturated fatty acids, these commonly include: milk, bread, meat products, snacks and instant products.
