healthy fats
Omega-rich food oils
Healthy fats are dietary fats considered beneficial rather than harmful—typically unsaturated fats from sources like olive oil, avocados, nuts, and fatty fish.
The term emerged as nutrition science moved away from blanket fat avoidance: Salmon is full of healthy fats.
The phrase distinguishes these from saturated and trans fats linked to heart disease.
