Low cholesterol diets can help a person have a healthier heart and circulatory system. A person who consumes more cholesterol than their body can process is at risk of Heart disease, which can increase the risk of suffering from a heart attack or stroke. Low cholesterol diets are great ways to maintain a healthy cholesterol level without taking prescription medications.
A person does not need to cut out all of their favorite foods in order to maintain a diet low in cholesterol. The key is moderation. Foods that are high in cholesterol are any animal products and items that are high in saturated fats. Foods that are deep fried, the majority of dairy products and red meats tend to be high in cholesterol. These types of foods should be reduced as much as possible while trying to maintain a low cholesterol diet.
It is a good idea to substitute lean meats or skinless white meats for fatty steaks. Fish is an even better red meat substitute. Avoid any pan fried or deep fried foods whenever possible. Grilling, broiling, steaming or baking are just as tasty and are much healthier. When shopping in the dairy section, look for products that are low-fat or are dairy substitutes. Egg yolks are also very high in cholesterol. It is a good idea to limit the number of yolks consumed to no more than four per week.
Fruits and vegetables contain no cholesterol and can actually help reduce the level of cholesterol in the human body. It is recommended a person gets at least three servings of fruits or vegetables everyday. Many whole grains are also great for reducing cholesterol. Dieticians recommend at least six servings of grains daily.
Read labels before buying any product that says it has a reduced cholesterol level. This does not make it any healthier than the standard product. People who are not at risk of heart disease should stay under 300mg of cholesterol per day while those that are at an increased risk of developing heart disease should aim for under 200mg per day. Foods that have a high amount of saturated fats are more likely to be high in cholesterol. Maintaining a low cholesterol diet is helpful for managing weight and blood pressure, which is an important factor for a healthy cardiovascular system.
