Here’s what the research shows on heart health and plant fats:

  • Replace saturated fats with unsaturated fats: This helps lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels in the blood.
  • Improves cholesterol balance: Swapping saturated fats for unsaturated fats also lowers LDL cholesterol and improves the total cholesterol to HDL (good cholesterol) ratio.
  • Reduces risk of heart disease: High blood cholesterol is a major risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD).
  • Multiple factors matter: Since CHD has many causes, improving more than one risk factor can further reduce overall risk.
  • Delivering essential fats like Omega-3 and Omega-6, which our bodies cannot produce and must get
    from food 

Making these dietary changes is a proven way to support cardiovascular health over the long term.
HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) is known as "good" cholesterol because it helps remove excess cholesterol from your bloodstream and takes it to the liver for disposal. LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) is called "bad" cholesterol because it can build up in your artery walls, forming plaques that increase the risk of heart disease.
