Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Shen Yonghua
Foods high in fat mainly include the following categories:
1. Nuts and seeds: such as almonds, walnuts, cashews, peanuts, and sesame seeds. These foods are not only rich in fat, but mostly contain healthy unsaturated fatty acids. Moderate consumption is beneficial for heart health. For example, the fat content in 100 grams of walnuts is about 65 grams.
2. Animal meats and meat products: red meat, pork, chicken skin, bacon, sausages, and other processed meats tend to have higher fat content.
3. Full-fat dairy products: whole milk, cream, cheese, and butter. These foods contain high levels of saturated fat. For example, the fat content in 100 grams of butter is approximately 81 grams.
4. Baked goods and desserts: cakes, cookies, pies, chocolates, ice cream, etc., which usually contain large amounts of added sugar and fat, especially saturated and trans fats, which are detrimental to cardiovascular health.
5. Cooking oils: various vegetable and animal oils, such as peanut oil, olive oil, sesame oil, butter, and lard, are all sources of high fat. These oils are commonly used in cooking, but excessive consumption can increase overall fat intake.
Increasing the intake of low-fat foods such as vegetables, fruits, and whole grains can help maintain a healthy weight and cardiovascular health.
