​Things to KNOW About ​Omega-9 Fats:

​Omega-9 fatty acids are considered non-essential fats because they can be produced by the body. ​Oleic acid ​is the most common type of omega-9 fatty acid in the diet. Oleic acid is a monounsaturated fat found in foods such as avocados, olives, and olive oil. ​Monounsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature and become solid when chilled.

​Monounsaturated ​fats are central to the Mediterranean diet. Various studies have shown that monounsaturated fats can lower the risk of heart disease, improve insulin sensitivity, balance cholesterol levels, and reduce caner risk. ​

Avocados, olives, and olive oil also contain phytonutrients called polyphenols which act as antioxidants, protecting the body from free-radical damage and inflammation.​​​ Consuming foods high in ​monounsaturated fats in the proper amoun​ts is central to a healthy diet.
