Don’t Avoid Fats but Embrace Healthy Ones!!

Consume good fats for healthy living
Fats Offer Health-Protective Benefits
Fats are essential nutrients for health. While some fats have different effects on health, others have health-protective benefits. The following fats, in moderate quantities, must be a part of your meal intake.

Omega-3 Fats
Omega-3 fatty acids, a type of polyunsaturated fatty acids, help lower cholesterol levels and support heart health.

Omega-3 Pick List

Fatty Fish: Nutritionists suggest including fish in your diet at least twice a week. Salmon, albacore tuna (fresh and canned), sardines, lake trout and mackerel are all rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Nutritionists and dietitians recommend pregnant women to avoid certain fish varieties and this list is available at the website www.firsteatright.com.
Consume healthy fats in moderation
Include Omega-3-Rich Foods in your Healthy Diet Plan
Walnuts: These single-seeded stone fruits are abundant in omega-3 and vitamin E. You can add these plant-based omega sources to cereal, salads or muffins. Oil from walnuts is a good choice for salad dressings and sautés.

All Vegetable Oils: Replace solid fats such as butter or margarine with oil while cooking or baking. This helps with sauteing and stir-frying.

Flaxseed: Whole flaxseeds cannot be broken down by our body to enjoy the nutrients from the omega-3-containing oil. Ground flaxseeds added to breakfast cereal, yogurt, baked goods like ​breads and muffins or mixed dishes and casseroles; flaxseed oil sprayed over quinoa or salad dressings —are few good methods to access the goodness of flaxseeds.
​​

Eggs: Chickens fed with feed high in omega-3 fatty acids produce eggs enriched with these fatty acids. Hence check the package label for the nutrition facts before buying eggs.

​Monounsaturated Fats

Monounsaturated fats improve blood cholesterol levels thereby decreasing your risk of heart disease.

Monounsaturated Fats Pick List
Nuts: These heart-healthy fats are also loaded with protein, fiber and a variety of vitamins and minerals. One portion of nuts is equivalent to 28 grams or 1/3 cup and fulfills your calorific need to around 160 to 180 calories. Hence always remember the right portion to consume.
​

Oils
: Oils are better than saturated fats, such as butter. Use them to sauté vegetables, seafood, poultry and meat or in salad dressings.
​

Avocado: Additional to monounsaturated fats avocados are a plush source of folate, vitamins E, C and B6, potassium and fiber. Use avocados liberally in salad, eggs, pizza, soup, salsa and sandwiches.
​
Peanut Butter: Surprisingly almost half of the fat in peanut butter is monounsaturated fatty acids. Resist the urge to pour off the heart-healthy oil that's separated out of natural peanut butter, and mix it in.
Avocados for folate, vitamins, potassium and fiber
Avocados are Used Right from Pizzas to Salads

What Our Clients Are Saying

Deepika Murthy - Biotechnologist. ​Research Scientific Analyst
​Post Pregnancy Weight Loss. Bangalore - 02 March 2013 writes......


​Motherhood brings unparalleled joys. It brings indescribable agonies of body too. And being a fitness freak for7 long years, my whooping 21kgs of weight gain sent me into throes of despondency. I was at the brink of desperation to get rid of those unhealthy flabs. 83kgs was weighing me down, literally. I joined my gym back a year later but a twisted ankle and some silly cysts erupting from my ovaries made my struggle a bit more severe.

My distress was growing manifold. My yoga, my dance, my weight training..i missed them all. And more than that, missed my fitness. And then ; I thought "if not now, then never". A newspaper ad took my resolution flying towards 'first eat right'. And there she was, my angel, Dr. Nafeesa. and there was no looking back after that .............................  http://www.firsteatright.com/testimonial.html
