This is the age of fast food, fast cars, all the modern conveniences to make our lives easier. In order to achieve those killer abs, the first step is to include lots of fibrous foods. Fiber is found in indigestible parts of fruits, vegetables and whole-grain foods and works inside the body in 3 ways.

Firstly, fiber acts like a dry sponge inside the digestive tract absorbing water and other substances quickly. Secondly, there is the ‘filling’ factor of fiber. A study conducted at the Human Research Center at Tufts University has highlighted the shortcomings of certain low-fat diets that are loaded with sugar, salts and preservatives. A diet will yield results only if it contains significant amounts of fruits, vegetables, whole grain and other fiber-rich foods that add mass without the excess calories. Lastly, one should opt for high-quality carbohydrates instead of junk food. Maintain the carb between 45-65% (202-292gms for a daily 1800-calorie diet) to avoid water retention, bloating and temporary weight gain around the midriff.

Converting a High Cholesterol Diet Recipe

Changing a high cholesterol diet recipe into something that is healthier for you is not really as hard as you may think. Whole milk can be removed from the recipe and soymilk substituted. For example, trim the fat off the meats you prepare. Fat contains a world of cholesterol, and simply trimming it off and choosing to bake or broil your meats rather than fry them will greatly improve your diet. You can still have plenty of taste by using a thin coat of low cholesterol margarine substitutes and herbs and spices to add some flavor to the meats. Try a low cholesterol meal with legumes and green leafy vegetables as the centerpiece for a change. Add fresh fruit and you have a heart-healthy low cholesterol meal. Converting a favored high cholesterol diet recipe, along with managing the other components of your diet, will make a positive change in a very short time.

cholesterol lowering foods

Cholesterol finds its way into our bodies in two main ways. Any cholesterol that we intake through our food, is all extra cholesterol, and should be avoided as far as possible. Many foods contain cholesterol and many don’t. Food stuffs such as oils, fats, and animal products including meat, eggs etc are cholesterol containing foods. Plant foods do not contain cholesterol.

Within the category of cholesterol containing foods, there are those that are cholesterol high foods, while some may contain lesser amounts of cholesterol. Egg yolks as opposed to egg whites contain a very high amount of cholesterol. If you are in a quandary as to what to eat to lower your cholesterol levels, you should minimize your intake of meat, fats, and dairy products. Increasing your intake of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and grains can be very good for your heart as they are not cholesterol high foods.

Low Cholesterol Foods and Lowering Your Cholesterol

Executive Summary about Cholesterol Foods by Brian Adamson

Low Cholesterol foods – diet necessity or diet nonsense?

Low cholesterol foods are all the rage. Virtually every newspaper, magazine, even TV ads trumpet the latest “low-fat“, “low-cholesterol” or “cholesterol lowering” yoghurt , spread or even chocolate! These low cholesterol foods must be good news, mustn’t it? Consequently, low cholesterol foods and foods that lower cholesterol may actually have a detrimental effect on many body processes. Blindly using chemicals (because that is what is in these “foods”) to lower cholesterol disregards the actual CAUSE of the problem (for an in-depth report, see cholesterol) which will almost invariably correct itself if the cause of high cholesterol is removed.

What are low cholesterol foods?

Some low cholesterol foods are simply foods that have had their cholesterol removed. Whilst totally unnatural, these are probably the least unhealthy low cholesterol foods. A third group of “low cholesterol foods” (or claimed “cholesterol lowering foods”) have apeared in recent years which give similar cause for concern. Do yourself a favour, inf out more about cholesterol, what it is, what it does and avoid low cholesterol foods completely!
