Micronutrients & recovery
Trans fats (industrial trans-fatty acids) are unequivocally harmful and should be completely avoided as they raise LDL-C, TGs, and Apo B while lowering HDL-C.
Completely avoid industrial trans fats. Check labels for 'partially hydrogenated oils' and avoid fried foods, baked goods, and processed snacks containing them. Opt for fresh, unprocessed foods and healthy cooking oils like olive or canola oil.
