Avocado

The fats found in avocados have been shown to maintain good cholesterol while reducing bad cholesterol. The high fat content helps you start feeling full faster. In addition, research has showed that avocados aid in better nutrient absorption.

Almonds

Monounsaturated fats have been associated with reduced risk of heart disease. Almonds are rich in this type of fat. Almonds are also high in protein, and rich in Vitamin E and magnesium.

Salmon

A four ounce serving of wild salmon provides an entire day's requirement of Vitamin D, as well as over half a day's B12, niacin and selenium. It is also extremely high in protein and "good fat." Omega-3 fats have been proven to reduce inflammation in our bodies, which can be the root of many health problems.
