Understanding that not all fats are bad is a step in the right direction as it will help the individual to discern the negatives and positives of the different foods consumed.

Some are good for health while others can contribute to negative body conditions such as raised blood cholesterol, cardiovascular ill health and unnecessary weight gain.

• Omega-3 fatty acids are a type of polyunsaturated fat that can be found in fatty fish such as salmon, herring, sardines and trout. Ideally this should be consumed in three servings of 3 oz each per week. Other ideal sources of omega
-3 fatty acids would include flaxseed, walnuts and canola oil.
