Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats can boost heart
health when used in place of saturated and trans fats in the
diet. Both types of unsaturated fat can lower overall
cholesterol levels and LDL, or bad cholesterol, levels.
Monounsaturated fats also may raise HDL, or good
cholesterol, levels, whereas PUFA are known to decrease HDL
(good cholesterol). So, saturated fats ( ghee/butter/coconut
oil/palm oil) are better avoided, PUFA ( sunflower
oil/safflower oil/corn oil/soyabean oil) can be taken in
limites quantities and MUFA ( groundnut oil/mustard
oil/olive oil) are the preferred form when fats are to be
taken. However,fats should form not more than 30-35% of
total colories, and even less( 20-25%) in case of diabetes
and cardiac diseases.
