What Saturated Fats Really Do to Your Heart
For years, saturated fat has been labeled a heart health villain but new research shows the truth is more nuanced than most people realize. A recent review suggests that cutting back on foods like butter, red meat, and full fat dairy can significantly lower heart attack risk especially for people with high cholesterol or existing heart concerns. But the story changes for those at lower risk, raising questions about long term effects, changing dietary guidelines, and what really matters more than any single nutrient. The article explores who should worry most, what doctors are now saying, and why your current diet may be shaping your heart health years before you feel any symptoms.
Healthy Fact of the Day: Taking time to fully rest your mind, not just your body, is important for long term mental health. Moments of quiet without multitasking, scrolling, or background noise allow your brain to recover from constant stimulation. This mental rest can improve creativity, emotional balance, and overall clarity.
