Is Your Diet Free From High Cholesterol Food?
Not all cholesterol is bad for us. The food we eat if rich in cholesterol can increase our cholesterol levels as all the cholesterol required by us is made by our own liver. So anything you eat on top of that, will only add to higher unhealthy cholesterol levels. Knowing high cholesterol foods and avoiding them is crucial.
While plant products are healthy, animal products are rich in saturated fat or the bad fat which has an adverse affect on your heart. Food containing polyunsaturated fat and monounsaturated fat (the good fat) can help lower your bad cholesterol.
All the tasty and tempting stuff like chips, cookies, cakes and like contain the bad fat including hydrogenated vegetable oils. Not to forget the salami, sausages, yummy chinese take aways, full fat yoghurt and other dairy products.
Did you know that seafood such as crab, shrimp and sardines contain high cholesterol which should be avoided. Same goes with veal, egg yolks, turkey, coconut oil, palm oil, brain, goose, duck and liver.
Some of the favorites such as dimsims, meat mince, cream and all coconut recipes are unhealthy. At all times avoid food rich in saturated fat which can over work your liver to produce harmful LDL levels.
Get your facts right and know the difference in the food you consume. Your daily cholesterol consumption should not exceed 300mg for a healthy person and limit to 200mg (equal to one egg) if you are battling cholesterol.
You may want to avoid the fresh fruits, vegetables and wholegrains, but all these are excellent sources of good cholesterol. Another great source of polyunsaturated fat is fish, baked or pan fried.
So where is the healthy stuff? In soybean products, tofu, kidney beans, dried peas, garlic, spinach, tuna in water and fat free milk. Check the saturated and trans fat content on the packaging rather than the total fat content.
Try and snack on plain nuts such as peanuts, cashews, brazilnuts and hazelnuts. Order wholegrain bread at the cafe and buy lean meat at the supermarket. Take the first step and stop your arteries from clogging.
Including foods such as nuts, legumes and cereals are very beneficial. This includes rice, pasta and dried peas. Substitute your cooking oil with olive oil. Staying fit with ideal weight will certainly help.
