What is the best diet if suffering from cholesterol?
Cholesterol diets are the best if your cholesterol level is too high. These diets help you decrease your cholesterol level by almost twenty percent. What these diets do is to reduce your chances of developing any heart problems, like heart diseases or even heart attacks. The main thing which the diet is based on is to reduce the saturated fat that you normally eat and also reduce the amount of cholesterol in your meals. So, to get down to what you' re probably wondering by now: what food should we eat? Well, first let us start with foods that are low where saturated fat is concerned. You should eat dairy products that are fat free, fish or shellfish, grain foods and a lot of fruits and vegetables. Be careful even what margarine you eat. It should be one with a low content of saturated fat. Another important step on the diet list is eating food which has a high content of soluble fiber. Food like that is oat products, fruits like oranges, vegetables like carrots, beans and peas which have been dried out. Now that you know what you should eat, let us go to the other side and see what foods are forbidden if suffering from cholesterol problems. Avoid as much as you can liver, eggs and dairy products which are 100 percent fat. You should also limit the amount of salami, sausages that you eat, because they are very high in fat. Fried foods must also be avoided. There also are indicated methods for cooking your meals. You should boil, bake, grill, microwave or roast the food you eat in order to reduce the levels of saturated fat in your food. You must also be careful what kind of meat you eat if you want your cholesterol level to stay low. We recommend that you eat fish, poultry, shellfish and the leanest meat. From the poultry meat that we advice you to eat, chicken and turkey are the lowest in saturated fat. Another trick is to remove the skin. Also try to limit the amount of duck or goose that you eat, because they have a high level of fat, even when you remove the skin. Fish and shellfish are the most indicated types of food that you should eat. They are lower in fat even than chicken. You should also try to substitute meal with other foods such as dry beans or peas. These vegetables have a lot of fibre and are very good in lowering the cholesterol level in your blood.
