With each passing day as the demand of work, school and other outside activity increases, it’s almost impossible to encompass in our daily schedule healthy and balanced meals in our diets. Unfortunately, due to the nutritional content of processed foods or ready to cook foods this usually means higher amounts of saturated fat. Saturated fats have the ability to accelerate blood cholesterol, which can lead to a number of health risks, which includes coronary heart disease, heart attack and stroke.
