Polyunsaturated fats can help lower your LDL (bad) cholesterol. Polyunsaturated fats contain omega-3 and omega-6 fats. These are essential fatty acids that the body needs for brain function and cell growth. Our bodies do not make essential fatty acids, so you can only get them from food. Some foods and oils with higher amounts of polyunsaturated fats include: walnuts, sunflower seeds, flax seeds or flax oil, fish, such as salmon, mackerel, herring, albacore tuna, and trout, corn oil and soybean oil.
