Unsaturated Fats (good fats) are monounsaturated and polyunsaturated.

They help to lower blood pressure and lower the risk of such health conditions as Eat Stop Eat diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, stroke, some cancers, and rheumatoid arthritis. Examples of food products high in polyunsaturated omega 3 fatty acids are oily fish such as tuna, mackerel, and salmon.
