Dietary fats: thoughtful sources and sensible portions

2026-10-09 · Health in Action editorial team

Fat belongs in a balanced diet and does not need to be eliminated. Both the source and the amount matter.

Put it into practice

Olive oil in a salad, nuts at breakfast or fish for dinner are practical options. Use a spoon when cooking if you find it difficult to judge how much oil you pour.

Things to keep in mind

Nuts are convenient, but a large bag in front of a screen can easily replace a regular meal. Put a portion in a bowl and put the rest away.
