Skip Processed Foods Today

Once a day, check the label of something you're about to eat. If you see any of these, put it back:

• Partially hydrogenated oil / shortening
• More than 3g of saturated fat per 100g in a processed snack
• Added sugars in the first 3 ingredients

You don't need to overhaul your entire diet at once. Eliminating one processed item per day builds the awareness that eventually rewires your shopping habits entirely.

The WHO states there is no safe level of trans fat consumption. These fats both raise LDL and lower HDL simultaneously — a double hit on your cardiovascular health.

💡 Practical swap: Replace a packaged snack with a handful of walnuts or an apple with almond butter.
