Can You Lower Your Risk For A Heart Attck By Cutting Down On Saturated Fat?

Can you reduce your risk of having a heart attack by eating less saturated fats. The answer turns out to be yes, but only if you replace the saturated fats with unsaturated fats or foods with whole grains.

A large study published in a prestigious medical journal reported that if you cut down on saturated fats and replace the calories with low quality carbs and added sugars you will not reduce your risk of having a heart attack.

If you replace the foods that are high in saturated fats with those rich in polyunsaturated fats you will reduce your risk. Examples of heart healthy foods are nuts, seeds, and many vegetable oils. Do not forget toods rich in monounsaturated fats. Examples are olive oil and avocados.
