Balance Your Good Fats





Are you getting too much of one kind of healthy fat and not enough of other healthy fats? Strike the right balance for better health.

Healthy fats include monounsaturated fats -- such as olive oil -- and polyunsaturated fats -- such as corn oil and sunflower oil. A balanced mix of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats appeared best for helping control cholesterol in a recent study.

RealAge Benefit: Reducing your total cholesterol to 160 mg/dL or lower can make your RealAge as much as 1 year younger.
