Page 25 - Whole Food Lifestyle

Good Fats
A diet that is made of whole foods allows us to get
good fats and eliminate the bad ones that are major

causes of high cholesterol and heart disease.

Processed foods are typically loaded with trans and
saturated fats that clog heart arteries and play a major
role in obesity.

On the other hand, whole foods provide good fats, like
omega-3 fatty acids that are found in fish and nuts, and
monounsaturated fat from various plant sources and
also in nuts.

Fiber
Fiber is one of the important nutrients for the human body and helps with:

 Digestive health
