HEALTHY FATS: A BETTER CHOICE FOR LIFE

---

Fats Using By Me in My Daily Life

---

• DesiGhee: I belong to a village and we mostly use Desi ghee in all our containments of food in our villages. For example for cooking, salad dressings, on toasts. Desi ghee is full of energy and using this gives dishes a different kind of taste and aroma.
• Olive Oil Use: In cities, we mostly use olive oil in our homes, due to the abundance of mono-saturated fatty acids. This oil is very beneficial for health, as it prevents heart diseases in humans.
• Nuts and Seeds: I often in my free time during working hours using Almonds, Walnuts and pistachio. They are delicious to taste, also they contain healthy fats, which are healthy for our bodies.
