Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation

Healthy fats are essential for athletes because they provide a dense source of energy, support cell function, and help
absorb fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K). They also contribute to hormone production and have anti-inflammatory
properties which can aid recovery.
Avocados and nuts are rich in unsaturated fats, particularly monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are
considered heart-healthy fats. These fats can improve cholesterol levels, reduce inflammation, and provide essential
fatty acids like omega-3 and omega-6, which the body cannot produce on its own.
In contrast, fried foods and pastries typically contain trans fats and excessive saturated fats, which can increase the
risk of heart disease and negatively impact an athlete's health and performance.
Margarine and processed snacks often contain artificial trans fats and unhealthy additives, which should be minimized
in an athlete's diet.
Butter and red meat contain higher amounts of saturated fats, which, in moderation, can be part of a balanced diet but
are not the healthiest fat sources when compared to unsaturated fats from plant-based foods.
For optimal performance and health, athletes should focus on including healthy fat sources such as avocados nuts,
seeds, fatty fish, and olive oil.
