CHOLESTEROL PART DEAUX

I talked about cholesterol last month, but I thought it important to repeat and add more tips on lowering your blood cholesterol.
A lot of us think that eating foods that contain a lot of cholesterol (red meat, eggs, etc.) are the main cause of high cholesterol in the blood. While we should definitely eat less animal products, esp red meat, eggs, etc. - the foods that have the largest impact on blood cholesterol levels are the saturated fats and trans-fats.
So eat a diet low in both cholesterol and saturated and trans-fats.
Eat less of the following:
Butter, cream, cheese, ice-cream, bacon, marbled meats, chicken or turkey with skin

Eat more of the following:
Nuts, whole grains, beans, vegetables, fruits, fish and lean meats.







HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
