Cholesterol

Adjust the way you eat, prepare or cook meals. Take the following into consideration:

A) Grill and roast meats rather than frying them.
B) Steam fish.
C) Boil or steam vegetables.
D) If you eat poultry, remove the skin.
E) Eat more frequent smaller meals rather than fewer huge meals.

Identify and increase consumption of cholesterol friendly foods, or consider becoming a vegetarian. Good foods for cholesterol include the following:

A) Foods high in fiber. Increase intake of oats, beans, fruit pectin, psyllium seed, flaxseed and glucomannan.

B) Whole grains.

C) Fruits and vegetables, especially garlic, or other foods containing complex carbohydrates. These include pasta, bread, cereals, rice and potatoes.

D) Fermented milk products such as acidophilus milk, yogurt & kefir. Select 'non-fat' versions.

E) Soybeans. Soy is said to reduce LDL cholesterol.

F) Walnuts and almonds.

G) Fish containing omega-3 fatty acids, including herring, mackerel, salmon, tuna & sardines.

Know which foods to avoid. These foods and ingredients are well known to elevate cholesterol:

A) Animal meat in general. Most contain saturated fat. Dark meat and poultry skins are especially bad.

B) Dairy products not labeled as "fat free." These include cheese, ice cream, margarine and butter.

C) Fried foods, especially those cooked in palm oil or coconut oil. If you must use oil, consider using extra virgin olive oil (however olive oil should not be used in a deep fryer). Olive oil lowers LDL cholesterol and can be found in virtually all supermarkets.

D) Egg yokes (yellow part of the egg). If possible use only egg whites. NOTE: There has been some conflicting studies recently suggesting that egg yokes may not be as bad for cholesterol as earlier feared. Until further study, use minimally with caution.

E) Fast food. Very few items in fast food restaurants promote healthy cholesterol levels so it's just a good idea to avoid them completely.

F) Chips & crackers. If you must, choose a 'baked' version.

G) Chocolate and sweets.

Exercise regularly - this will help lower cholesterol and just make you feel better. In addition, exercise will help you shed excess pounds - heavier people are more prone to having elevated cholesterol.
