What Are Healthy Fats for Kids?

Here are 4 types of fats worthy of your attention. Make sure your child gets very high quality, unrefined, unprocessed, organic fats. They become the building blocks of her brain and organs.

Percent = ideal ratio for total fat intake:

Saturates 40-50%: Coconut meat & coconut milk, cow milk (raw, grass fed) or goat milk, butter (grass fed), and fat from organic animal meat (grass fed).
Omega 9 – 35%: avocados, chicken fat, duck fat, macadamia, olive, turkey fat.
Omega 3 – 10+%: cod liver oil, fish oil, flaxseeds, chia seeds, walnuts.
Omega 6 – 10%: In most animal, fish, & vegetable fat, and highly concentrated in corn, safflower/sunflower oil, pumpkin & sesame seeds. Always buy organic as corn and soy are GMO crops.
