Monounsaturated fat

Fat not fully saturated with hydrogen, monounsaturated fats are ‘good fats’. Foods that contain monounsaturated fat include olive oil, rapeseed oil, nuts, avocado and seeds. Monounsaturated fats can help maintain a healthy level of cholesterol, lower stomach fat and reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. They are a healthier option to saturated fat as they have fewer calories and generally maintain a liquid form rather than turning solid.
