Fat is an essential part of a healthy diet—your body needs fats to work properly! Fats help your body absorb important vitamins, keep your cells strong, and even provide you with energy.
But not all fats are the same. Some fats are better for you than others. Try to focus on eating more healthy fats, like:
🥑 Unsaturated fats (found in foods like avocados, nuts, and seeds)
🐟 Omega-3 fatty acids (found in oily fish like salmon and trout)
These good fats help your heart, brain, and overall health. So go ahead and enjoy foods like almonds, olive oil, or a tasty piece of grilled fish—your body will thank you!
Want more tips on nutritious eating? Explore our other resources or talk to a WIC dietitian. We’re here to help you and your family stay healthy and strong! 💚 www.signupwic.com/find-a-clinic
