Some Trans Fat Foods To Avoid

by Leslie Ball

Trans fat is a type of fat that most medical practitioners consider bad for your health. They are naturally occurring trans fats like in meat, but most that exist in our foods, are formed via an industrial method that increases the level of hydrogen in vegetable oil that solidifies at room temperature. The fat increases your bad cholesterol levels and at the some lowers your good cholesterol putting you at the risk of contracting heart disease. In addition, the hydrogenated oils have a long life span and so many restaurants use them to deep fry foods since they don't require constant changing like other oils. Below are some <A href="http://discoverperfecthealth.com/">trans fat foods to avoid</A> at all cost:

Fried chicken and chips are high content cholesterol foodstuff that are loved by many. The fat in them is obtained from the oil that chefs use in deep frying them. Professional dietitians advocate use pan frying as a replacement for of deep frying. Uses of liquid oils like olive oil are advised because their contents have the correct amount of cholesterol.

Pies and pie crusts also contain the notorious hydrogenated oil. They are baked foods that have high cholesterol content. And most people love eating pies; they are therefore at high risk of getting diseases that are related to the high content of fat in the body.

Snacks such as microwave popcorn also have this trans fat. Even though popcorn are always considered to be healthy, they can at times contain the dangerous substance. They are made with lots of salt and oils that have solidified. And since many people are warming up to the microwave popcorn, heart diseases are significantly increasing. The toppings that come with the packaged popcorn can also contain the harmful substance.

Doughnuts are sweet delicacies that are appealing but contain high cholesterol. Doughnuts should just be totally avoided since they are only made by deep frying. You can opt for whole grain toasts, bran muffin and English muffins that give you a healthy heart.

Frozen foods are other foods that have this hazardous substance. Although they might have good nutrients, they may be harmful; it is, therefore, imperative to check food package levels for cholesterol amount. Another issue to consider is the food is cooked. It should be prepared using the oils like olive oil.

Dessert mixes like already mixed cake ingredients may seem convenient to us but may contain lots of bad cholesterols. The ingredients manufacturers use in making the mixes normally contain hydrogenated fats that add to heart problems. In order to avoid getting heart disease, you can opt for the old way of baking a cake from scratch by mixing the ingredients yourself. Also remember to use healthy cooking oils and instead of using frostings you can use powdered sugar as the toppings.

Lastly, remember constantly to check the labels of packaged foods that describe the concentration of ingredients used. Look at the percentages of cholesterol used and if you find that it is high, avoid it. Doing this will protect your heart from diseases and give you a healthy lifestyle.
