Decrease Heart Disease by Reading Labels

A diet very low in trans fat is crucial for optimum heart health. But buyer beware: Some companies replace the trans fat in packaged foods with unhealthy saturated fat just so the products can read "trans fat free," so double-check the Nutrition Facts label. You want the fat in your food to come from heart-healthy mono- and poly- unsaturated fats such as olive oil, canola oil, avocados and peanut butter. See more heart-healthy recipes.
