WHICH TYPE OF UNSATURATED FATS ARE HARMFUL?

To be clear unsaturated fats are classified as
1. Monounsaturated fats
2. Polyunsaturated fats
3. Trans fats

Let’s see in detail about these fats one by one

MONOUNSATURATED FATS

The monounsaturated fats mostly occur plant-based and reduce the risks of cardiovascular diseases and reduce immortality. The foods rich in this kind of fats
are
● Peanuts
● Avocados
● Most nuts and seeds

POLYUNSATURATED FATS

This kind of fat is essential for your body that helps in blood clotting and muscle movements. Since your body can’t produce this kind of fat you have to get it
through the diet. Polyunsaturated fats are mostly classified into Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids.Omega-3 is very good for heart heaths and Omega-6 can be found slightly unhealthy as it increases the risk of obesity.

TRANS FATS

Trans fats are a form of unsaturated fats and they are naturally found in dairy fat, this is produced when bacteria in animals’ stomachs digest grass. And there is industrial trans fat or artificial trans fat which is hazardous to your health. These fats occur when vegetable fats are chemically altered to gain more shelf life and that is harmful to your health.
