Most all drugs have the possibility of producing negative effects. I have a fellow professor at the college I teach at that was on lipitor. When they changed his medication, he developed cancerous tumors within the rib cage. However, because the cancer was not genetically produced, they were able to control it. Always weight out the risks involved, and make sure the physician gives you full disclosure on the medication he/she recommends.

Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high density lipoprotein (HDL).

A good diet for someone with high cholesterol is to start eating healthy food like fresh vegetable and fruits. One should also avoid greasy and oil food like fast food and should start cooking at home. One should also begin counting the amount calories of the food they're eating so control the amount of cholesterol they're eating.

I am amazed at how little information seems to be available when searching the web on the subject of a heart healthy diet. However, since my husband was diagnosed with heart disease just 4 short months ago at the ripe old age of 44 (hereditary on both sides of his family), I have been researching the proper diet for his condition, and have struggled to find consistent information. According to the American Heart Association, the long and short of it is: Low cholesterol, low sodium diet. (Pay no mind that my husband is British however, he lives in America now, so I suppose we best listen to the American Heart Association). The rest is somewhat common sense. A good example of a great common sense diet is the Sonoma Diet. We liked this diet for the simple fact that it had some basic common sense principles: 1) No processed/refined (white) flour 2) No sugar 3) Lean meats and fish 4) Plenty of green and other vegetables, and 5) Only whole grains. To summarize: Quit buying processed crap in the frozen food, "boxed" food section, etc. For 10 days, we ate delicious recipes of lean meats/fish with savoury spices, vegetables, and some gain dishes. The initial 10 days is meant to "rid you of your refined flour and sugar addictions". This actually made sense to me, and I truly felt great after eating this way for 10 days. Now, to return to the specific issue of heart health in regard to this diet. This diet listed eggs for breakfast nearly every day...now, my husband and I have all but cut out eggs (and replaced with egg substitutes) long ago, and read the blurb in Gutterson's Sonoma Diet book regarding the "good" cholesterol in eggs vs. the "bad", etc. I figure, with egg substitue products that taste great out there, and have no cholesterol, why eat eggs? Once in a while we have them for a treat, but don't fuss over it. The biggest issue is: the eggs are on the diet because they are loaded with protein. So find other lean protein sources! Overall, here's the verdict: Lean meats or fish (plenty of protein each meal) balanced with plenty of fresh veggies, "good" fats (2-3 servings per day of olive oil, canola oil, 1/4 of an avocado), plus no more than 2 servings per day of whole grains = steady weight loss and a heart healthy diet. One big thing to remember however, if you are trying to lose weight due to a Dr.'s advisory regarding your heart health; you need to watch your portions. It's easy to pig out when you think you are eating "good food". However, a whole pound of salmon and 8 oz. of a tasty grain medley on the side with one spear of broccoli won't shed the pounds. Basically, heart health or not, I find that it all comes down to the age old diet that no one ever seems to want to embrace in the end: EAT LESS. MOVE MORE. Our bodies need a balance of protein and carbohydrates along with not sitting on our asses all day. Many of the available food choices out there these days are full of complex carbs and fat. Period. Proteins are expensive, so all fast food chains skimp on proteins when contrasted to the complex carbs they serve along side them to fill you up. Couple this with the great American pastime of sitting on one's ass....and viola! Obese America! So how to start on a heart healthy diet in America? One thing I can absolutely vouch for: Drop the processed foods. It's a great start, and hard to do when our grocery and covenience stores are full of them, and we nurture a culture that "doesn't want to take time" to prepare something proper to eat! (Enjoying good food...that's a whole other topic!) By dropping processed foods, white flour and sugar alone, my husband's cholesterol level dropped down from dangerous levels to hovering BELOW normal in only about 12 weeks. No miracle cures. No crazy diet fads. Common sense wins on this one! I wish you all happiness and healthy choices! TC

Good cholesterol, or omega 3 fatty acids, are used by the body in the myelin sheathe that insulates nerves, and in building cell membranes, and a number of other things. Most of the chemicals of which the human body is made are water soluble, and so it is also necessary to also have some insoluble compounds that will enable the body, and structures within the body, to retain their shape rather than dissolving into a puddle.

You can find more information about a high cholesterol diet plan from your local nutritionist. They can provide many different high cholesterol dietary options which allow you to manage your lifestyle.

Healthy levels of cholesterol are important for the regular function of one's body. However, most people receive excess amounts of 'bad' LDL cholesterol, which essentially chokes the arteries and can lead to heart attacks and strokes. In order to lead healthy lives, doctors encourage their patients to exercise regularly and to eat low cholesterol diets, which can aid one's health both by reducing the amount of LDL cholesterol that one consumes and by boosting the amount of 'good' HDL cholesterol inside the body (HDL cholesterol, or high-density lipoprotein, has been shown to remove LDL cholesterol from the arteries and transport it to the liver, where it is processed and disposed of).

However, with the amount of processed foods that are commonly consumed, most people find it quite difficult to eat a low cholesterol diet. The switch from a high cholesterol diet to healthier lifestyle choices seems daunting to most people. Thankfully, a 'low cholesterol' diet does not have to be synonymous with 'low flavor.' One can ensure that he or she adheres to a low cholesterol diet simply by keeping a few rules of thumb in mind.

First of all, one should avoid eating whole eggs on a regular basis. Eggs are one of the highest cholesterol sources that are commonly consumed. Many delicious egg-based dishes, such as omelets and frittatas, can be prepared remarkably easily using egg whites or egg substitutes (egg substitutes consist of egg whites that have been treated with additional vitamins and minerals that are normally found in the yolk of an egg). Egg whites or egg substitutes can also be used for baking.

Red meats are also very high in cholesterol. However, many people simply refuse to completely remove beef and pork from their diet. Fortunately, red meats can be eaten in moderation. When these meats are eaten, one should try to choose the leanest cut available and prepare the food using little to no added fats (this can be accomplished by using nonstick cooking spray for pan-frying or grilling).

Poultry meat can be a central part of a low cholesterol diet if one consumes it wisely. White meat is considerably lower in cholesterol and saturated fats than dark meat, and one should try to eat white poultry meat whenever possible. Additionally, one should remove the skin from the poultry before consumption. Chicken skin contributes about one third of the cholesterol that is found in every serving portion.

The only ways we can voluntarily control the level of cholesterol in our bodies are with the way we eat and the meds we take.

Most control is done involuntarily, by our enzymes and hormones. For example, when the enzymes that break down LDL don't work well, we get too much LDL building up in our blood. (LDL is often called "bad cholesterol.) These are affected by genetics: if your parents have high LDL and subsequent strokes and heart attacks, you are at risk, too!!!

It used to be popular to eat less cholesterol to lower the amount in our blood, but it turns out, that for most of us, if we eat less then our livers compensate by making more! And if we eat more, our livers make less. Why would our livers make such horrible stuff anyway? Because cholesterol is a necessary part of every cell wall in our bodies, and is also critical in protecting our nerves and keeping minerals in our bones (preventing osteoporosis).

LDL levels are lower (and HDL, "healthy" cholesterol, is higher) in people who eat less saturated fat, are at a healthy weight (or have lost some poundage), don't smoke, eat plenty of fiber and not too much sugar and alcohol. AND exercise regularly. But we all knew that.

The good news is that eggs (high cholesterol) are good for us to eat again, and that oils (apart from the calories making us fat if we use too much) are healthy, too. Any fat that is liquid at room temperature (about 70 fahrenheit) is mostly UNsaturated, the healthy type.

Immediate changes in what you eat can begin to bring down cholesterol levels. Reduce the fats and foods cooked in fats (i,e. most fast foods) and eat more fruits and vegetables. You must also begin a committed program of exercise; walking is one of the best ways to rid the body of excess fat, which can clog arteries and veins.

"Good" cholesterol is called HDL (High Density Lipoprotein). It seems to help protect the heart against heart attacks.

"Bad" cholesterol is called LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein). It seems to contribute to arterial deposits, which can cause heart attacks and strokes.

LDL (bad cholesterol) of 104 is reasonably low - and this is good. HDL(good cholesterol) of 65 is significantly high - and this is also good!
