Lower The Risk Of Heart Disease By Limiting The Worst Foods For Your Heart

Choose Your Mayonnaise Wisely

Jars of mayonnaise sit on a grocery store shelf.

Mayonnaise contains egg yolks, lemon, and oils that may or may not be heart-healthy. According to registered dietitian Asvini Mashru, most mayo's have refined soybean oil. This processed oil has omega-6's, which puts people at risk of coronary heart disease, according to BMJ Open Heart.

Mashru recommends finding a mayonnaise with olive oil instead. While omega-6 fatty acids hurt your health, omega-3's in olive oil help you. Scientists from the University of Toronto emphasize that even "healthy" oils can heighten your chances of disease.
