What is the main purpose of reducing saturated fat in a heart-disease patient’s diet?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Fat control for heart health
Reducing saturated fat can help improve the overall fat profile of the diet and may support healthier blood lipid levels when it replaces saturated fat with unsaturated sources. It does not mean removing all fat or protein. The plan should also address energy, fibre, sodium, and the patient’s clinical advice.
