Omega-3 fats, in particular, keep the heart healthy, aid in joint recovery and can also aid fat loss.*Great sources of healthy fats*include salmon, tuna, sardines and anchovies. Monounsaturated fats, found in things like nuts, olive oil and avocadoes, are also great for active individuals and offer similar physique-friendly benefits.
