Go Nuts for Vegetable fat!

From avocados to olive oil to peanut butter, the term “vegetable fats” covers a wide variety of foods. In general, vegetable fats and oils are those that come from plant-based sources, and they are much healthier than animal fats (such as butter and shortening). Prostate 8 recommends that you eat seven servings of vegetable fats per week. Here are some suggestions for incorporating vegetable fats into your everyday diet.

Use oil instead of butter

You can incorporate olive oil into many dishes. For example, instead of putting butter on cooked pasta, drizzle some olive oil instead. Extra-virgin olive oil also tastes great drizzled over fresh tomato and a couple of slices of mozzarella — this is a simple, summery dish that is also good for prostate health.

When you are in a restaurant that serves bread, ask for a side of olive oil and vinegar instead of butter. This is an easy way to avoid unnecessary saturated fat!
