As a result, the entire world has become fatter and sicker. However, times
are changing. Studies now show that fat, including saturated fat, isn’t the
devil it was made out to be. All sorts of healthy foods that happen to contain
fat have now returned to the “superfood" scene.
1. Avocados
Loaded with fats. In fact, avocados are about 77% fat, making them even
higher in fat than most animal foods.
The main fatty acid is a monounsaturated fat called oleic acid. This is also
the predominant fatty acid in olive oil, associated with various health
benefits.
Avocados are among the best sources of potassium in the diet, even containing
40% more potassium than bananas, a typical high-potassium food.
2. Cheese
Cheese is incredibly nutritious. This makes sense, given that an entire cup
of milk is used to produce a single thick slice of cheese.
3. Dark Chocolate
Dark chocolate is one of those rare health foods that actually taste
incredible.
It is very high in fat, with fat at around 65% of calories. Dark chocolate is
11% fiber and contains over 50% of the RDA for iron, magnesium, copper, and
manganese.
4. Whole Eggs
Whole eggs used to be considered unhealthy because the yolks are high in
cholesterol and fat.
In fact, a single egg contains 212 mg of cholesterol, which is 71% of the
recommended daily intake. Plus, 62% of the calories in whole eggs are from fat.
However, new studies have shown that cholesterol in eggs doesn't affect the
cholesterol in the blood, at least not in the majority of people.
What we're left with is one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the
planet.
5. Nuts
Nuts are incredibly healthy. They are high in healthy fats and fiber, and are
a good plant-based source of protein.
Nuts are also high in vitamin E, as well as magnesium, a mineral that most
people don't get enough of.
Studies show that people who eat nuts tend to be healthier, and have a lower
risk of various diseases. This includes obesity, heart disease, and type 2
diabetes.
