If your BMI is below 18.5, you’re considered underweight. Anything between 18.5 and 25 is a healthy weight, while 25 to 30 is considered overweight. But if it’s over 30, you’re in the obesity range - yikes!
Saturated Fats: These are the unhealthy fats found in animal products such as butter, lard, and fatty cuts of meat. They can raise cholesterol levels and increase the risk of heart disease.
Unsaturated Fats: These are the healthy fats found in plant-based foods such as nuts, seeds, avocados, and olive oil. They can help reduce cholesterol levels and lower the risk of heart disease.
Trans Fats: These are artificial fats created through a process called hydrogenation that makes liquid oils solid at room temperature. They are often found in processed foods like margarine and fried foods like French fries or doughnuts. Trans fats can raise bad cholesterol levels and increase the risk of heart disease.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: These are polyunsaturated fatty acids found in fish oil that have been linked to a number of health benefits including reducing inflammation, improving brain function, and lowering blood pressure levels.

It’s important to know which fats are good for you, like monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, and which ones to avoid, like trans fats. Eating a balanced diet with the right amount of healthy fats can help keep your cholesterol levels in check and reduce your risk of heart disease.
