How do we read a nutritional panel?
Fat is the most concentrated form of energy or kilojoules.
Choosing the healthiest fats, instead of unhealthy fats, can provide a number of health benefits.
Healthy fats (unsaturated fats) should be included in your daily diet
Unhealthy fats (saturated and trans fats) should be limited.
Any fat consumed that is not used by the body or used as energy is converted to body fat and stored.
Therefore, all fats (including the healthier options) can contribute to weight gain and increased risk of cardiovascular disease if consumed too much.
FAT
SALT (sodium)
Sodium, commonly known as salt, is often added to food for flavour .
Salt is used to preserve and flavour food, which means highly processed foods tend to contain large quantities of sodium.
The kidneys are the main regulators of sodium in the body. Too much sodium can cause high blood pressure and other health conditions but if sodium levels in the body drop too low (not normally related to dietary factors), it can be dangerous if not treated.
SUGAR
Sugar is a type of carbohydrate. It can be called many different names on food labels, including glucose, fructose, sucrose, lactose, high fructose corn syrup, maltose, dextrose, raw sugar, cane sugar, malt extract and molasses.
Sugar provides energy to the body.
It is best to avoid large amounts of added sugar as it contributes to tooth decay and increases the risk of weight gain and therefore chronic disease.
