|
| |
| 1. |
Dietary Nutrition Is Critical |
| |
If you want to improve your cholesterol count, it's not simply a question of eating less fat. A low-fat diet by itself is unlikely to work. Instead, you need to follow a nutritionally balanced diet that provides you with the right balance of macronutrients (fats, protein, carbs) and micronutrients (vitamins, minerals), plus sufficient amounts of both soluble and insoluble fiber. |
| 2. |
Choose Healthy Fats |
| |
|
Eat More Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids |
|
This is found in some vegetable oils like flaxseed oil and fish oils from oily fish like mackerel, salmon, herring, sardines and tuna. |
|
Switch to Non-Saturated Fats/Oils |
| |
Aside from EFAs, the basic rule for lowering cholesterol is to substitute non-saturated fats (eg. monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fat from foods like fish, nuts, and vegetable oils) for saturated fat. Go easy on meat/cheese and introduce more vegetarian meals into your weekly diet plan. |
|
Beware Trans Fat |
| |
In addition, beware foods that contain "hydrogenated" or "partially hydrogenated" or "trans-fats". For example, limit your consumption of shortenings, hard margarine, cakes, cookies, crackers, snack foods, fried foods, donuts, pastries, baked goods, and other processed foods made with these types of fat. |
|
| 3. |
Eat Plenty Of Fruits And Vegetables |
| |
|
Fruit is a rich source of the antioxidant vitamin C (which helps to protect against degenerative diseases like atherosclerosis and cancer) and potassium (helps to regulate blood pressure) |
|
Vegetables provide a wide range of nutrients, many of which help to maintain good heart health. |
|
How much fruit and vegetables you should eat depends on your overall calorie intake. As a minimum guide, eat 2 cups of fruit and 2.5 cups of vegetables per day for every 2000 calories consumed. |
|
| 4. |
Choose High Fiber, Low-GI Carbohydrates |
| |
The basic rule is to choose high-fiber low-GI carbs that are whole grain: meaning unrefined carb foods that retain most of the original fiber and grain. Examples of available whole grains include: wholewheat, whole oats/oatmeal, wheatgerm, whole-grain corn, air-popped popcorn, brown rice, basmati rice, whole rye, whole-grain barley, buckwheat. |
| |
The recommended daily carb intake is 45 to 65 percent of total calories. And the recommended dietary fiber intake is 14 grams per 1,000 calories, per day. |
