HEALTH TIP # 12

The latest in our series of easy ways to stay healthy

Eat healthy fats. Fish oil, extra virgin olive oil, organic coconut oil, avocadoes, raw nuts and seeds are all sources of healthy fats which, when consumed in amounts appropriate for your metabolic type, will give you energy, health and vitality. Most vegetable and seed oils (such as those found in many store-bought salad dressings and marinades should be minimized as they are quite often rancid, not to mention destroyed by their processing. Margarine (organic butter is better), fried foods and hydrogenated fats are also best avoided.
