Are You Getting Enough Healthy Fat In Your Diet?

We often talk about having too much fat in our diet, but did you know too little fat isn't good either.

Fats should contribute to 20 - 30% of our caloric intake. Fats help absorb fat-soluble vitamins (Vitamin A, D, E and K). Fat also helps you feel full after eating and provides the body with energy.

Signs that your cells aren't getting enough good fat that they need:

🤔 Dry, itchy, scaling, or flaking skin

✋ Soft, cracked, or brittle nails

👂 Hard earwax

💪 Tiny bumps on the backs of your arms or torso

🦵 Achy, stiff joints

Now this doesn't mean to go eat an entire bag of potato chips. You want to consume good fats, which include Sunflower, sesame and pumpkin seeds , flaxseeds, walnuts, fish 🍤, fish oil, olive oil, avocados 🥑, olives, nuts 🥜, peanut butter, soymilk, and tofu.
