12. High-Fat Sauces and Condiments
High-fat sauces and condiments, such as mayonnaise, tartar sauce, creamy salad dressings, and even salsas and dips, are often high in saturated fat and cholesterol. By limiting their intake, you can help to lower your cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. Instead, try using low-fat or fat-free dressings, or create your own sauces using ingredients like olive oil, herbs, and spices. You can also look for lower-fat alternatives, such as hummus, tahini, and salsa Verde. By making small changes, you can enjoy flavorful sauces without compromising your health.
