A Cholesterol Free Diet From Dr. Sam Robbins
Some types of cholesterol are not dangerous. Bad cholesterol (low density lipoprotein) forms blocks on the walls of the arteries. Oxygen and nutrients are transported to the heart and brain by the way of blood vessels. When cholesterol blocks the vessels it can cause a stroke or heart attack. When you have a blood test and it shows your LDL cholesterol levels are over 100, you need to change your lifestyle and your diet.
Food rich in saturated fat should be avoided. This type of fat is solid at room temperature and can elevate blood cholesterol levels. Do not eat foods from this list: * Lunch meats * Bacon * Sausage * Fatty red meat * Dairy products made from whole milk * Chicken skin
You will also raise your blood cholesterol levels by eating foods with trans fatty acids. Some of the foods rich in trans fatty acids are: * 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. - 17268
