So when we look at all the different fats that we can eat, there are different kinds.

So some fats are 100% we know are good for you.

Omega-3 fatty acids, which are the main fat that we know is healthy for us in fish, that's the big thing.

Omega-6 fatty acids are called polyunsaturated fatty acids.

These are the fats that are in things like margarine, in like seed oils.

And then some oils contain a combination of both.

So like olive oil, which in general is really good for you, contains both omega-3 and omega-6.

And the goal you want to is to maximize the amount of omega-3s and overall minimize omega-6 because we get way too much of that in our general, in our society.

Um, and so in general, what you want to do then is eat those healthy sources of fats, um, those healthy sources of, uh, um, protein.

Okay.

And then the healthy fruits and vegetables, and then trying to get rid of some of those ultra processed types of things.

Yeah, I mean, if you douse it in a bunch of dressing and then you throw a bunch of bacon bits on it.

Yeah, so, I mean, it's the same thing with coffee.

You know, coffee is a great drink in general because it's filled with antioxidants.

I love coffee.

I can't have it though.

But when you throw a bunch of cream and sugar and you mix it up with all these syrups and stuff like that, you take, you know, what essentially is a really good healthy drink and you make it, you know, a sugar bomb essentially.

And so really it's what you do sometimes with these basic foods that make a big difference.

I'm happy to talk about that.

We can talk about anything, plastic surgery, anti-aging.
