Cholesterol

Cholesterol is an organic chemical substance and is a steroid of fat. High levels of this steroid fat can cause real problems with humans leading to heart and circularity problems as the fat builds up layers in vital veins thereby restricting blood flow to vital organs such as the heart and can n some cases cause heart failure. On the other hand humans require this essential and important steroid fat to keep us healthy, as it responsible for creating and maintaining membranes within our bodies, the trick is to get the intake balance correct. Cholesterol was first discovered in 1769 in the gallstones.

Does tea increase cholesterol levels?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you're planning on drinking a cup of tea before your cholesterol blood test, you might have to do so the night before your appointment -- or wait until afterward. Total cholesterol may be tested as part of a larger lipid profile, which assesses individual blood cholesterol components that help to reveal your risk for heart disease. Your doctor's diagnostic methods and the testing laboratory's protocols will determine whether you need to forego tea and other foods and drinks prior to giving your blood sample.

How much cholesterol in a bagel?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Tha bagel itself contains minimal levels of chloresterol. The amount is 24 mg to 0 mg per 100g, in a bagel. The cream cheese or butter on top may have significantly more. However dietary cholesterol is not Reemember that you need cholesterol in your body. HDL, aka high-density lipoprotein, aka “good cholesterol”, mops up excess cholesterol and brings it to the liver for disposal. LDL, aka low-density lipoprotein, aka “bad cholesterol”, also has an important job: it transports cholesterol and fat from the liver to the rest of the body.

Before deciding on what you eat on your own talk to doctor or real dietician (not the fad type) and have your blood cholesterol checked.

Are oysters high in cholesterol?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Previously oysters were thought to contain high amounts of cholesterol but now, since new methods of calculating cholesterol levels are more accurate, oysters have been removed from the restricted list. Oysters are naturally low in fat, sodium, and calories. They are also a very good source of high quality protein, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and iron. A three ounce cooked portion of oysters contains only 93 milligrams of cholesterol

Oysters are not only delicious, but they're also one of the most nutritionally well balanced of foods, containing protein, carbohydrates and lipids. The National Heart and Lung Institute suggest oysters as an ideal food for inclusion in low-cholesterol diets. Oysters are an excellent source of vitamins A, B1(thiamin), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), C (ascorbic acid) and D (calciferol). Four or five medium size oysters supply the recommended daily allowance of iron, copper, iodine, magnesium, calcium, zinc, manganese and phosphorus.

Can eat tapioca in high cholesterol level?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Answer

Are you thinking of tapioca pudding or just plain tapioca? The cholesterol content is different for each. With tapioca pudding it depends on if whole, 2%, 1%, or skim milk is used in the recipe as well as if egg yolks are used or just egg whites. In ready-made packages of pudding, I would suggest looking at the label for cholesterol content. The cholesterol is good. Too high is bad and would harm your body more than benefit it.

For plain tapioca (the dry pearls) there is no cholesterol. If you are concerned about cholesterol, I suggest buying the dry pearls and then using skim milk and egg whites in your preparation. This will decrease the amount of cholesterol in the final product.

Do fresh farm eggs have cholesterol?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes. In fact, most of the cholesterol found in an egg is in the yolk. Does this mean you should just eat the egg white? Absolutely not! Like most cholesterol-rich foods, eggs are jam-packed full of important nutrients, especially the fat-soluble vitamins and essential fatty acids. (the good cholesterol). Egg is a total food, eat a few eggs per day and you could dispense with that boring daily vitamin.
