Feature: Dietary Steps For A Healthier Heart
Limit Saturated Fat. Saturated fats are primarily found in foods of animal origin and tend to be solid at room temperature. These fats may raise your blood cholesterol if eaten in excess. Health professionals recommend less than 10% calories from saturated fat. Some suggestions to help manage the saturated and total fat in your diet include:
    • Choose lean meats (fish, chicken, turkey, pork)
    • Use skim or low fat dairy products
    • Limit egg yolks to four or less per week
    • Use unsaturated fats (vegetable oil, corn oil, olive oil or canola oil)
    • Try reduced fat mayonnaise and salad dressings
