Could eating more healthy fats be the missing piece in your nutrition routine?
Fat has a bigger role in your health than many people realize.
Your body needs dietary fat to absorb fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, support hormone production, and maintain normal cellular function.
But here’s the important part most people miss...
More fat doesn’t automatically mean better health. The right amount depends on your individual needs, overall diet, activity level, and health goals.
Here are 3 things to keep in mind:
1. Choose quality over quantity.
Prioritize sources like avocados, extra-virgin olive oil, nuts, seeds, and fatty fish. These provide beneficial fats along with other important nutrients.
2. Don't overlook fat-soluble vitamins.
Vitamins A, D, E, and K support a variety of essential functions. A balanced diet helps provide these nutrients, and certain health conditions can affect how well your body absorbs them.
3. Find the right balance for your body.
There isn't one ideal fat percentage for everyone. For most adults, general dietary guidelines recommend that fat provide about 20–35% of daily calories, though individual needs can vary.
Taking care of your body means being intentional about what you eat, asking good questions, and making informed choices.
We believe caring for the body God entrusted to us starts with understanding what it needs—not simply following the latest nutrition trend.
