Lower The Risk Of Heart Disease By Limiting The Worst Foods For Your Heart
Low-Fat Salad Dressings Are Worse Than Regular Ones
Although low-fat salad dressings are low in calories, that doesn't make them healthier. Usually, dressing's calories come from heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. When those are removed, sugars and unhealthy oils take their place, says registered dietitian and nutritionist Suzanne Fisher. These can harm your heart over time.
Plus, you need healthy fats to absorb nutrients from your vegetables. According to The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, fat-free dressings don't help the body absorb vitamins as well as regular dressings. Resort to healthy full-fat dressings; they're better for your heart!
