Unsaturated fats (e.g. found in fish, avocado, nuts, sunflower, canola, and olive oils) are preferable to saturated fats (e.g. found in fatty meat, butter, palm and coconut oil, cream, cheese, ghee, and lard).” When calling us on (+351) 21 458 85 00 mention that you have read this article to have even better access conditions.
