Fiber To make a claim that a food
contains fiber it should contain one or more of the following: Oat bran Whole oat flour Rolled oats Whole grain barley
Consuming a diet that is rich in fiber from whole grain and other plant based sources will lower cardiovascular disease risk
25-30 grams per day
Choose foods that are rich sources of fiber Legumes Vegetables Whole grains Nuts & seeds Fruits

The Really Bad Fats- Trans Fat
Trans fat are dangerous because they lower healthy HDL cholesterol and raise lousy LDL cholesterol
Be wary of front package claiming a product to have no trans fat
Look at the ingredients list KEY WORD: hydrogenated or
partially hydrogenated
Saturated Fats These foods are high in the type of fat that will negatively
impact your bad cholesterol
Food sources include red meat, full fat dairy, baked goods, butter, palm oil, coconut oil
Key words on the label Light Reduced
Often packages will say reduced or lower in fat but that does not mean it will be more nutritious or more heart healthy!
Look to the nutrition facts for guidance 3 g fat for every 100 calories
The Healthy Fats Monounsaturated and
polyunsaturated fats are good because they can help improve blood cholesterol levels, ease inflammation, stabilize heart rhythms
Typically liquid at room temperature PUFAs
Omega 3s Walnuts, flax seed,
MUFAs Olive, peanut, and canola oils Avocado Almonds, hazelnuts, and pecans Pumpkin and sesame seeds
One study showed that by replacing a carbohydrate rich diet with one rich in unsaturated fats (MUFAs), it lowered CVD risk.
Choose foods rich in Omega 3’s. Our body can’t make them and must get them from food.
