High intakes of sodium, trans fats and cholesterol remain high despite recommendations to limit them to reduce hypertension and cardiometabolic risks. Although these nutrients come with health benefits, they need to be consumed in less amounts to prevent health risks associated with overconsumption.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Sodium <\/strong>consumption plays a vital role in nerve, muscle functioning and helps your body in maintaining normal fluid balance. However, it is linked with blood pressure if consumed in elevated levels. People with high blood pressure, diabetes, chronic kidney disease as well as older adults tend to be more sensitive to the blood pressure raising sodium. The WHO recommends the consumption of 2 grams (about a full teaspoon) of sodium per day\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Trans Fats<\/strong>: <\/strong>According to the (EU) No 1169\/2011, the primary source of some industrially produced trans-fats is partially hydrogenated oils. Hydrogenated oils contain saturated, and unsaturated fats and among them and trans fats range up to more than 50 %. They can also be naturally present in foods derived from ruminants such as dairy products, or meat from cattle, sheep, and goat. The regulation set a maximum level of 2 grams per 100 grams of fat in food intended for consumers or supply to retail. An elevation in the consumption of trans-fats may increase levels of developing heart disease, stroke, and high risk of developing type 2 diabetes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Cholesterol <\/strong>is a natural substance produced in and found in animal-based foods. The body produces all the cholesterol needed to help build cells, produce vitamins and hormone secretion. However, people take in additional cholesterol by consuming animal basedproducts such as eggs, meat and cheese which are rich in saturated and trans-fats. The consumption of too much cholesterol may cause the liver to produce high LDL (bad) cholesterol which lead to diseases such as heart attack, Stroke, Coronary Artery disease (CAD), etc. The Food and Drug Administrations (FDA) suggests that the maximum cholesterol should be less than 300 mg daily. There is a wide variety of foods a person can regularly consume that do not contain cholesterol such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains such as oats, brown rice, nuts etc.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Dieticians recommend consumers to have a cholesterol and sodium -restricted diet by selecting a diet with low percentage values of Sodium, cholesterol, and Saturated fats.\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
