Question

Mike wants to increase his monounsaturated fat intake. Which meal has the highest amount of monounsaturated fat?

Answer 1

Answer:

b. grilled chicken, baked potato topped with butter and creamed asparagus

Explanation:

The rest of the meals have monounsaturated fats, but the one that is considered to have the most amount is option B.

For our body, excess fats are bad, because they generate cardiovascular diseases due to hypercholesterolemia that triggers atheromas in the walls of the vessels, but it was discovered that the healthiest fats are polyunsaturated and monounsaturated, which are found in vegetables, animals, crude oils, fruits and vegetables, and finally, nuts.

The cooking method of the food is fundamental, since if we fry and heat the fats or oils, they tend to change their structure and molecular arrangement, transferring the locations of the links, and that is how we obtain trans fats (also can be synthesized synthetically in some foods). Trans fats are extremely harmful to our body and an example of this would be the option C food where there is a large amount of trans fat.
