Dr. Sam Robbins Speaks About A Cholesterol Free Diet
There are some types of cholesterol that are not dangerous. Bad cholesterol (low density lipoprotein) forms blocks on the walls of the arteries. The blood vessels are used for transporting oxygen and nutrients to the heart and brain. The cholesterol blocks can easily lead to a stroke or heart attack. LDL cholesterol levels above 100, shown from a blood test, means you need to make changes in your lifestyle and definitely your diet.
Do not eat food with saturated fat. This type of fat is solid at room temperature and can elevate blood cholesterol levels. This is a list to avoid: * Lunch meats * Bacon * Sausage * Fatty red meat * Dairy products made from whole milk * Chicken skin
You can raise your blood cholesterol by eating foods with trans fatty acids. Avoid these foods: * Margarine * Fried foods * Fast foods * Processed crackers and cookies
These foods have plain cholesterol in them: * Egg yolks * Shellfish * Liver
Animal products produce cholesterol; therefore, you would think a vegetarian diet would keep cholesterol levels low. There are several food substances that are high is saturated fat and trans fatty acids: * Palm oil * Palm kernel oil * Coconut oil * Cocoa butter Avoid these; however, there are many substitutes for them.
Tran's fatty acids are abundant in fried foods. Food soaks up the oil or butter it is fried in. There are alternative cooking methods that can reduce blood cholesterol. You need to bake, broil or grill food.
Exercising can lower blood cholesterol levels since a sedentary lifestyle is often associated with high cholesterol levels. Exercising regularly improves metabolism and helps you burn fat and increases your energy level. Along with a healthy cholesterol free diet, you need to do keep doing physical activities in order to keep your blood cholesterol levels low. - 17269
