monounsatt

Monounsaturated fats are a type of fat that contain one double bond in their fatty acid chains. They are considered healthy fats because they can help lower "bad" LDL cholesterol levels and raise "good" HDL cholesterol levels. Monounsaturated fats are found in various foods, including avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil. They are also present in smaller amounts in dairy products, fish, and eggs. These fats are liquid at room temperature and have a higher smoke point compared to saturated fats, making them suitable for cooking and baking. Monounsaturated fats are an essential component of a balanced diet and contribute to overall heart health.
