A member asked:

Is fat from oily fish, avocados and nuts good to eat? is there anything better?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Enjoy yourself: Despite all the "pop" claims online, your food choices aren't the primary determinant of whether you stay healthy. You're avoiding the excessively greasy, sugary, and fatty stuff. Eat what you like, vary it to be sure of getting your micronutrients, and stay physically active.
