 NUTRIENT FACTS
Calorie is a unit of energy. It is a way
of describing how much energy your
body could get from eating or drinking
it.
Saturated fat is a type of dietary fat. It
is one of the unhealthy fats, along
with trans fat. These fats are most
often solid at room temperature.
Foods like butter, palm and coconut
oils, cheese, and red meat have high
amounts of saturated fat.
• Your body needs healthy fats
for energy and other
functions. But too much
saturated fat can cause
cholesterol to build up in your
arteries (blood vessels).
Saturated fats raise your LDL
(bad) cholesterol. High LDL
cholesterol increases your risk
for heart disease and stroke.
Trans fat are a form of unsaturated fat
associated with a number of negative
health effects. Artificial trans fat is
created during hydrogenation, which
converts liquid vegetable oils into
semi-solid partially hydrogenated oil.
Trans fat can also be found naturally in
meat and dairy.
• Trans fats raise your bad (LDL)
cholesterol levels and lower
your good (HDL) cholesterol
levels. Eating trans fats
increases your risk of
developing heart disease and
stroke. It's also associated

Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like
substance made in the liver, and
found in the blood and in all cells of
the body. Cholesterol is important for
good health and is needed for making
cell walls, tissues, hormones, vitamin
D, and bile acid. Cholesterol also
comes from eating foods taken from
animals such as egg yolks, meat, and
whole-milk dairy products.

holds excess fluid in the body,
and that creates an added
burden on the heart. Too
much sodium will increase
