What sort of nutrient is cholesterol?
fat
Which nutrient affects the amount of cholesterol found in the body?
Total cholesterol includes the good, or HDL, High Density LipoProtein, and the bad, LDL, Low Density Lipoprotein. A few things affect the total number. Saturated Fat, fat found in animal products (and coconut and palm oils), and cholesterol, only found in animal products, affect the total cholesterol.
Do coconut water increase bad cholesterol?
Yes it does. Coconut water is a nutrient rich drink and it has been used to regulate blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels, and it has been found to boost energy levels and increase metabolism in the human body.
What is the difference between fat and cholesterol?
Fat and cholesterol are both types of lipids, but they serve different functions in the body. Fat is a macronutrient that provides energy and helps with nutrient absorption, while cholesterol is a type of lipid that is essential for building cell membranes and producing hormones. Fat can be found in foods like oils, butter, and meat, while cholesterol is mainly produced by the liver but can also be consumed through animal products. Consuming too much saturated fat can raise cholesterol levels, which can increase the risk of heart disease.
What nutrient cannot be found in plants?
Vitamin B12 is a nutrient that cannot be found in plants. It is naturally present in animal products such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. Vegans and vegetarians may need to consider supplementation or fortified foods to ensure they get enough vitamin B12.
What is the difference between 'no cholesterol' and 'cholesterol free'?
Something with no cholesterol has no cholesterol in it; something that is cholesterol free can either be free of cholesterol (and thus has no cholesterol - see above) or it has free cholesterol, in which case the level of cholesterol is indeterminate without further information.
Is there such a thing as "no cholesterol" foods?
Cholesterol is only found on animal fats. Although viewed as an evil nutrient since the 1930s, we've known that not to be the case since the 1970s. Cholesterol is a precursor to vitamin D and to the sex hormones, and if your diet doesn't have enough cholesterol in it, your body makes more of it. Trans fats, produced by artificially hydrogenating vegetable fats and oils, is actually responsible for much of the cancer and heart disease blamed on cholesterol - and as the body has no use for trans fats, using lard and extra virgin olive oil is much safer than vegetable oils and shortenings that often are hydrogenated.
Is to much fiber bad for you?
Yes, but fiber may a bad thing in general. We know that it cripples nutrient absorption for instance, because of the phytic acid content.Fiber claim to fame rides with it's cholesterol lowering, low glycemic features. Recent findings report that lowering total cholesterol is not as effective as increasing "good" cholesterol and decreasing "bad". E.g Targeting a high HDL and low VLDL is better than lowering total cholesterol. High total cholesterol is important in so much as it's an general indicator for high "bad" cholesterol. Cholesterol particle size (bouyant LDL particle) is a better indicator of health. Glycemic Index theory fails to explain healthy cultures on high GI diets——heavy rice and root tuber (i.e. potatoes) eating cultures. High GI foods seem to only be a problem in the insulin insensitive. Another negative of fiber is how it slows carbohydrate digestion. Which contributes to endogenous AGE accumulation in the blood——inflammation.
Is cholesterol an essential nutrient?
While cholesterol plays a physiological role in the body, it's not as though dietary cholesterol is nutritionally essential. Your liver is able to produce cholesterol on its own from saturated fat. In any case, I'm not aware of anyone suffering from a cholesterol deficiency-most of us should be concerned with having far too high levels of "bad" (V-LDL and LDL) cholesterol and low levels of "good" (HDL) cholesterol.Most vegan diets, free of meat, eggs and milk would be cholesterol free. Vegans (on a properly balanced diet) can be cholesterol free without experiencing negative health effects, so I would be willing to infer that dietary cholesterol is not an essential nutrient.Zero-cholesterol diets do not tout great nutritional benefits. The body is able to make cholesterol because it is so important and needs a backup, but that doesn't mean it isn't better for your body that you be getting it from food.
Where can I find a high cholesterol diet plan?
