Good evening & welcome to #WellbeingWednesday. Did you know that our bodies actually need good fats in order to burn fat?
Today’s 5-a-day is dedicated to 5 good fats to enjoy everyday in moderation… with benefits for the brain, our hearts & our metabolism!
- Olive Oil – Contains polyunsaturated fat which can keep hunger at bay & oleic acid, which helps breakdown of excess fats in the body.
- Avocado – Contains over 1/2 our RDA of fibre, which gives this fruit its fat burning properties plus vitamins A, C, E, K & B6!
- Pistachios – Lower in calories & fat than most other nuts, while high in protein, fibre & other essential vitamins & minerals.
