Diet is one of the top concerns of people with high blood fat. So what should they eat and what should they not eat during meals to reduce blood fat?

Fats are found in most foods, both animal and plant. Fats provide calories, help the body absorb some vitamins, and provide essential nutrients the body needs to function. All high-fat foods contain a mixture of different fats—one of which is polyunsaturated fat. Polyunsaturated fats are usually liquid at room temperature and are also known as oils.

Most of us are consuming more omega-6 fatty acids and less omega-3 fatty acids, resulting in an imbalance in the ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3. The reason for this imbalance in the ratio may be due to the Western diet.
