We all know that nourishing our bodies is crucial to being healthy, but sometimes that is easier said than done. Making sure you eat enough healthy fats, though, doesn’t have to be a complicated situation.

Two of the most important healthy fats are

1. omega-3 fats, which may help lower cholesterol levels and support heart health;

2. monounsaturated fats, which improve blood cholesterol levels.

Simply incorporate common omega-3 fats, such as fatty fish, walnuts, vegetable oils, flaxseed and eggs, and common monounsaturated fats, such as nuts, oils, avocado and peanut butter, into your diet in order to reap these great health benefits.

A balanced diet will give you the proper building blocks that your body needs to get through the day. The various benefits of a healthy diet include

• feeling more energized and refreshed;

• being more focused;

• maintaining a healthy body weight; 

• having an increased resistance to certain illnesses and diseases.
