*💫 Let’s talk about trans fats.* They’re a type of unhealthy fat made when liquid oils are turned into solid fat. They may not be on your shopping list, but they’re definitely hiding in many foods you eat. 💫 *You’ll find them in foods like:* – Packaged snacks – Some baked goods – Fried foods – Margarine and processed spreads *💫Here’s why that’s a problem:* Trans fats increase bad cholesterol (LDL) and lower good cholesterol (HDL), a combo that puts your heart at serious risk. We’re talking heart attacks, strokes, even type 2 diabetes. Even a little bit is harmful. *💫So what can you do?* ✔️ Check your food labels. If you see “partially hydrogenated oils”, that’s a red flag. ✔️ Use healthy oils like olive when cooking. ✔️ Cut down on fried and packaged foods — try air-frying, grilling, or baking instead of frying for a healthier option. ✔️ Choose more fresh foods like fruits, vegetables, homemade meals, unprocessed grains, and natural snacks (like nuts and yogurt). *Your heart will thank you ❤️*
