What’s a MUFA? Why Eating Delicious Nuts Can Deliver Great Health Benefits

When you’re thinking about your favorite snacks, the term monounsaturated fatty acids (or as they are
better known, MUFAs) probably doesn’t come to mind. But according to the Mayo Clinic, it should.

MUFAs are a healthy type of fat that has been shown to provide several health benefits when consumed
in moderation as part of a healthy diet. According to the Mayo Clinic, “Consuming monounsaturated
fatty acids may help lower your risk of heart disease by improving associated risk factors”. The benefits
include:

• A lowering of your total cholesterol
• A Rise in LDL (good) cholesterol levels
• Normalization of blood clotting
• Potential to better control blood sugar levels

How do you get more MUFA’s into your diet? Most nutrition experts list about 5 main sources in which
monounsaturated fats occur naturally. One of the five magic foods that contain these healthy and
natural fats are nuts. Almonds, cashews, pecans and macadamias in particular are great sources of
nutrition that contain MUFAs and can be included in your diet each and every day to help accomplish
your health goals. Just as important, they taste great!
