Hi Hannah! Great question. Saturated and trans fats, found in foods like red meat, butter, and fried items, can increase cholesterol levels and the risk of heart disease. Additionally, limiting sodium and processed foods is beneficial. #cardiovascular #healthyfoods
Absolutely! Don't forget about added sugars, which can be found in sweetened beverages, desserts, and even some unexpected places like condiments and breads. High sugar intake can lead to obesity and inflammation, both of which increase the risk of heart disease. #cardiovascular #sugars
It's also important to incorporate heart-healthy foods, like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats, such as those found in nuts, seeds, and avocados. Making these dietary changes can help lower the risk of cardiovascular disease. #cardiovascular #hearthealthy
