When it comes to nutrition, few topics spark as much debate as fats. Are they beneficial or harmful? Are some essential while others should be avoided? These questions are common, and research reveals that fats are, in fact, a crucial part of a balanced diet. The key lies in finding the right balance, and with 66% of adult Australians classified as overweight of obese according to the ABS, it's clear that many people are struggling to achieve this balance.

On the plus side, studies show that diets rich in healthy fats, such as those found in nuts, seeds, and olive oil can reduce heart disease risk by up to 30%.
