Reduce saturated fats, avoid heart problems. Replace saturated fats with healthier choices can reduce the risk of heart disease, says a new U.S. study. The Harvard Medical School conducted various investigations to conclude that eliminating saturated fats from our foods (like those in meat and butter), is good for the heart. It is recommended that adults acquire all of its energy from foods that contain saturated fats, this is because fats increase bad cholesterol levels and clog the arteries of the heart. The idea is to replace saturated fat with other worse as the trans fats are found in processed foods (eg cakes), but ideally to keep the heart healthy is to consume at least five servings of fruits and vegetables daily, and eat fish regularly.
