In a world overflowing with health advice, myths about food, particularly fats, a cardiologist, Monisola Adanijo, known for her straightforward health advice has said healthy fats are not just beneficial but essential for the body.
Many people trying to improve their heart health or manage their weight are told to cut out fat entirely, but this advice can be harmful, as according to Dr. Adanijo’s post, on healthy fats, “they support everything from energy production to heart and brain health.”
Not focused on promoting the trendy low-fat diets that often dominate health circles, instead, she believes in a balanced approach, emphasizing how polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats (found in foods like avocados, nuts and certain oils) are actually good for us.
For the Chief Marketing Officer, TGI Group, “At Golden Terra, our goal is more than just providing a product but empowering people to make informed, health-conscious decisions. We’re committed to sharing research-based, heart-healthy insights directly with our consumers. We believe that cooking with Golden Terra Oil can support a balanced lifestyle, making everyday meals healthier and enjoyable
“So many people have fallen for the idea that all fat is the enemy. But as Dr. Adanijo put it, “when people cut out all fats from their diet, they’re depriving their bodies of key nutrients. Healthy fats are essential for the heart, the brain, and overall energy.
“By eliminating fats, we’re not necessarily protecting ourselves but may be creating new health challenges. It turns out that even something as simple as cooking oil can make a significant difference in heart health.”
Dr. Adanijo’s partnership with Golden Terra Oil, a brand that prides itself on creating heart-friendly options, made sense in this light.
Golden Terra Oil is particularly high in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and rich in monounsaturated fats (MUFAs)—the healthy types of fats she was referring to—which are beneficial rather than harmful, which is about changing the narrative on what healthy eating really means.
“Healthy fats don’t just add flavour to our meals,” Dr. Adanijo explained further, “They support our metabolism, help regulate hormones and are essential for heart function. When we try to remove them completely, we’re working against our health goals.”
This brand emphasizes education and long-term health over quick fixes and fad diets.
Golden Terra Oil is the choice for people wanting to maintain a balanced, heart-healthy diet. Through online campaigns, educational posts and collaborations with health professionals like Dr. Adanijo, they seem focused on clearing up common misconceptions about fats.
In a time when health trends are constantly evolving, the real message here was one of moderation and understanding that cutting out entire food groups can be more harmful than beneficial, and that healthy fats, like those in Golden Terra Oil, can actually be allies in our wellness journey.
