How much fat does a person consume every day to be healthy?

Fat is an essential nutrient for human body, which can provide energy for human body. However, the standard of daily fat intake has no accurate value, and it is generally judged according to the proportion of energy provided by fat in daily diet to total energy.

Clinically, the daily dietary fat intake should be 20%-25% of the total energy, and the saturated fatty acid intake should be less than 10% of the total energy. The intake of monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids can be appropriately increased to keep the ratio of saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids at 1: 1: 1. Patients with hypercholesterolemia should further reduce the intake of saturated fatty acids, so that the intake of saturated fatty acids is less than 7% of the total energy, and the intake of cholesterol.

Both normal people and patients with diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia should control their fat intake. Usually, you can eat more fish and less high-cholesterol foods such as pig brain and animal viscera to improve blood viscosity and reduce the risk of arteriosclerosis and insufficient blood supply to the body.
