Eat a Variety of Unsaturated Fats

Saturated and unsaturated fats are the two main types of fat found in food. Because they improve cholesterol, help to reduce inflammation (a risk factor for heart disease), and lower the overall risk of developing heart disease, unsaturated fats are regarded as the healthiest fats. Plant-based foods are the main source of unsaturated fats.

In just eight weeks, total cholesterol can be lowered by 9% and "bad" LDL cholesterol by 11% by changing to an unsaturated fat diet that replaces the majority of your saturated fats. More thorough research has also shown that those who consume more unsaturated fats and fewer saturated fats over the long term likely to have lower cholesterol levels. Eating foods like avocados, olives, fatty fish, and nuts on a daily basis is beneficial because they are packed with heart-healthy unsaturated fats.
