Not all fats are bad for you. In fact, the body needs dietary fats for energy, warmth and proper cell growth. The key is eating the right kind of fat.

Compared to regular beef, Wagyu has up to 300 percent more monounsaturated fatty acid—or just monounsaturated fat—which is the healthy variety often found in plant-based products such as olive oil and nuts. And although monounsaturated fat has little effect on total cholesterol, it has been shown to lower LDL (bad cholesterol) while increasing HDL, or good cholesterol.

In addition, Holy Wagyu is meat high in omega 3 fatty acids, which help protect against a number of health problems including high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease, arthritis and Alzheimer’s. The conjugated linoleic acid, or CLA, in Wagyu beef is linked to weight loss, maintaining a health weight, lowering the risk of type 2 diabetes and may even reduce your risk of cancer.
