What are healthy foods that contain fats?

Healthy fats that are thought to be good for general health include both mono- and polyunsaturated fats. They have anti-

inflammatory qualities, promote brain and cell health, and raise good cholesterol (HDL) and decrease bad cholesterol

(LDL). However, excess of any substance is never beneficial, so it's important to pay attention to how

much fat you're eating. Even beneficial fats in excess can raise calorie consumption, which can

cause weight gain and raise total cholesterol. Nut butter, avocado, flax, chia seeds, seeds, high-fat fish like mackerel,

tuna, and salmon, and vegetable oils like canola or olive are examples of solid foods that provide healthful fats.
