Five Foods to Sidestep for a Healthier You

Trans Fats: The Hidden Hurdle

Trans fats are a form of unsaturated fats, primarily found in artificial forms like partially hydrogenated oils. They're used in a range of food items like baked goods, snacks, fried food, and margarine. These fats increase bad cholesterol levels while lowering good cholesterol, resulting in heart disease risk, inflammation, and stroke. Check food labels for trans fats and opt for foods cooked in healthier oils like olive or canola.
