2. D I F F E R E N C E B E T W E E N G O O D FAT S & B A D FAT S
Good Fats vs. Bad Fats

3. What is Fat ?
 A natural oily substance occurring in animal bodies, especially
when deposited as a layer under the skin or around certain
organs.
 Any of a group of natural esters of glycerol and various fatty
acids, which are solid at room temperature and are the main
constituents of animal and vegetable fat.

4. Bad Fats
 What are Bad Fats?
Bad Fats have been
identified as potentially
harmful to your heart. Most
of the foods that contain
these types of fats are solid
at room temperature.

5. Types of Bad Fats
 Two types of bad fats:-
 Saturated fat
 Trans fat

6. Saturated Fat
 This type of fat is primarily
animal-based, and is found
in high-fat meats and dairy
products.

7. Examples of Saturated Fat
 Fatty cuts of Beef, Pork,
and Lamb Dark
 Chicken Meat and Poultry
Skin
 High Fat Dairy Foods
 Tropical oils, Lard

8. Cause of Saturated Fat
 Excess Saturated fat has
been shown to increase
blood cholesterol levels and
low-density lipoprotein
(LDL) levels.

9. Trans Fat:-
 Short for “trans fatty acids,”
trans fat appears in foods
that contain partially
hydrogenated vegetable oils.

10. Examples Trans Fats
 Fried foods (French fries,
Doughnuts, Deep-fried fast
foods)
 Margarine (stick and tub)
 Vegetable shortening
 Baked goods (cookies,
cakes, pastries)

11. Good Fat
 What Are Good Fats?
Monounsaturated fat and
polyunsaturated fat are
considered more “heart-
healthy” fats, which you
should include in your diet
in moderation. Foods that
primarily contain these
healthier fats tend to be
liquid when they’re at room
temperature, such as
vegetable oil.

12. Types of Good Fat
 Two types of good fats:-
 Monounsaturated fat
 Polyunsaturated fat

13. Monounsaturated Fat:-
 This type of helpful fat is
present in a variety of foods
and oils. Monounsaturated fat
can improve your blood
cholesterol level and decrease
your risk of cardiovascular
disease.

14. Examples of Monounsaturated
 Examples of
Monounsaturated fat;-
 Nuts (almonds, peanuts,
pecans)
 vegetable oils (olive oil,
canola oil, peanut oil)
 Avocado

15. Polyunsaturated Fat:-
 Plant-based foods and oils
are the primary source of
this fat. Like
monounsaturated fat,
polyunsaturated fat can
decrease your risk of
heart disease by lowering
blood cholesterol levels

16. Omega-3 Fatty Acids
 A certain type of this fat, called omega-3 fatty acids,
have been shown to be particularly beneficial for
your heart. Omega-3s not only appear to decrease
the risk of coronary artery disease, but also may
help lower blood pressure levels and guard against
irregular heartbeats.

18. Examples of Polyunsaturated fat:-
 Examples of Polyunsaturated
fat:-
 Salmon
 Herring
 Sardines
 Trout
