 Are you suffering with high blood cholesterol level? In addition to proper medication, diet also plays an important role in lowering high cholesterol. As soon as high cholesterol levels are found in someone without heart disease, they should begin a diet recommended by the American Heart Association that states a person should consume less than 300 milligrams of dietary cholesterol per day. They should also limit saturated fats to 10% or less of total calories and normal fats 30% or less of total calories.
Check labels and make sure you eat only foods low in cholesterol. It is not as difficult as it sounds. You just need to recognize the difference between high density lipoproteins, "good cholesterol" and low density lipoproteins, "bad cholesterol". Just take a look at the labels. Most foods that are high in saturated fats are "bad cholesterol". These are butter, greasy sauces, fatty meats, lard, etc.
What you want to do is eat only or mostly "good cholesterol". And there are lots of them. You see a lot of the advertisements in your grocery store about low cholesterol |
