Hello, Mga Momshies and Popshies!
Chikahang Nutrisyon Para Sa Mga Chikiting!
Did you know that there are different kinds of fat,
and not all of them are bad?
-
Unsaturated Fat: The Good Kind! 😇
There are two kinds of unsaturated fat. Polyunsaturated fat is found in oily fish like tuna and salmon. Monounsaturated fat is found in avocado, nuts, and canola oil. These can improve heart health and lower bad cholesterol. These are the healthiest kind of fat. 😍 Make hearty and heart-healthy snacks and meals with unsaturated fats! 💚
-
Saturated Fat: Be Careful! 🤔
These are found in meat and dairy products, and coconut oil and palm oil. Eating too much food items with saturated fat can raise bad cholesterol levels and increase the risk of heart disease. 🙏 Be mindful of how food containing saturated fat is cooked and prepared. Serve and consume in moderation as too much can clog your arteries! 😲

Trans Fat: The Worst, Most Toxic! 🤢
Found in margarine, artificial creams and creamer, pre-packaged and processed food, baked goods, and fried food, industrially produced trans fat increases the risk of heart disease by lowering good cholesterol and increasing bad cholesterol in the body. It has no health benefits and is only used to increase the shelf life of food. 😵 Do not eat! Ever! 🚫
This Children’s Month,
Give Their Heart A Headstart!
Your child’s favorite baon items may be doing more harm than you think. Industrially produced trans fat, a harmful, artificial chemical, is added to food without our consent. It does not affect the taste and cost of food. It only serves to prolong the shelf life of food at the risk of shortening your child’s life. Found in a lot of pre-packaged and processed food as partially hydrogenated oil, such as in margarine, and artificial creamer, consuming trans fat increases your child’s risk for heart disease and obesity at an early age.
Your kids deserve better. Your kids deserve healthy.
Protect the heart health of kids! Eliminate trans fat from their favorite baon!
