Extra virgin coconut oil is not a bad fat! It is actually good for you.
Just don't eat the stuff that has been scrubbed and bleached and heat treated. That is bad for you.
Shortym,
Thank you for your information on healthy fats. I never smoked in my life. that is out of question. I eat quite healthy food. Only I have to increase my Exercise. Thank you very much again. I am glad to know you and super Sally.

Super Sally,
Thank you for your answer on Healthy Fats, great help for me. Thanks again
Jogama.
Exercise is the key to increasing HDL...and if you smoke, quiting smoking helps too.
I always think of "healthy fats" coming from plants....with the exception of coconut (bad fat)
less healthy fats come from animals or foods made from animal products (butter, margrine, salad dressings, mayo, sour cream etc....) the exception to animal products is fish....Omega 3 is the healthy stuff!
Most dietary changes help lower cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL, however, as I said, exercise is the key to increasing HDL.
Healthy fats include that from nuts, olive oils, avocado, fatty fish (ie sardines, salmon), etc.
Some saturated fats are ok, but in moderation.
Avoid hydrogenated fats at all times. Hydrogenated fats are man-made fats and are found in most processed foods, and margarines.
Thank you for your super answer, I do exercises, but only I want to know which fats are the healthy fats. I eat mostly Bran food not refined carbohydrates, never take any sugar. You had been great help for me. Thanks again.
Regards,
Jogama.
To add further, reduce refine carbohydrates and particularly cut out fructose (in the form of high fructose corn syrup) (reasonable portions of real fruits are fine).
