Tuesday Day 9-Not all fats are created Equal!

MAKE FAT and FIBER YOUR FRIENDS!

Did you know that not all fats are created equal?

You need fats to absorb certain nutrients like vitamins A, D, E, and K, and antioxidants like lycopene and beta-carotene. But your body can’t produce essential fatty acids, so it’s critical to ensure you are getting enough from the foods and nutrients that you consume. Add healthy fats to your diet through olive oil, coconut oil, avocados, nuts, and omega3-rich seeds.

You can also add Arbonne Essentials® Omega-3 Plus as a daily supplement to help support essential fatty acid levels*.   

TIP: Did you know that you can easily swap out butter for a healthy fat in recipes? Avocado or avocado oil is a nutritious alternative to butter. Not only can adding avocado increase the overall nutritional value of a meal or baked food, but it can also substitute butter’s saturated fat for monounsaturated fat.

Comment in the community Facebook Group on today’s post and share your favorite healthy fat substitution and how you use it.

Did you get your fiber today? Fiber is an essential macronutrient, for digestive health and support. This can best be supported by supplementing your diet with digestive enzymes and getting plenty of nutritious fiber along with protein. Some of the most important nutrients our bodies require can be found in fruits and vegetables. They are a source of vitamins, minerals, protein, fiber, water, and many other powerful nutrients that support a broad range of bodily functions. And when you are upping our fiber intake, be sure to drink lots of water!
