Face the Fats!

NOT ALLFATS

ARE THESAME

The "bad" fats, saturated fats and transfats, raise "bad" cholesterol levels inyour blood and increase your risk ofdeveloping heart disease. The "better"fats, monounsaturated fats andpolyunsaturated fats, can help lowerblood cholesterol levels when theyreplace saturated and trans fats in thediet and may lower your risk ofdeveloping heart disease when they areconsumed in moderation.

Fewer than half of Americans knowthat the "better" fats

(monounsaturatedand polyunsaturated) can help reduce

their risk of heart disease.

If you know one of the 133 million Americans facing a life-threatening health condition, disability, or disease, you know their need is urgent. Community Health Charities makes it easy to help by connecting you to the nation’s most trusted health charities.

Over the past 5 years alone, Community Health Charities has distributed more than $330 million to its member charities. By partnering with Community Health Charities, these charities spend less of their resources on fund-raising, and more on the important work that saves lives.
