Unsaturated fats (monounsaturated & polyunsaturated from olive oil, avocados, fish) support cardiovascular health. Saturated fats (from animal fats) should be limited. Trans fats (hydrogenated oils, margarine) are highly harmful and should be entirely avoided.

No. Dietary fats are essential for hormone production, brain health, and the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K). Focus on choosing high-quality fat sources in moderate amounts instead of removing them.

High intake of saturated fats increases LDL (bad) cholesterol, elevating risks for arterial blockages and stroke. Saturated fats should make up less than 10% of your daily calories.
