Cholesterol

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

There are two types of cholesterol in your blood: HDL, the Good cholesterol, and LDL, the Bad cholesterol. High levels of HDL can help protect against heart disease because it helps move LDL out of the arteries and back to the liver, where it’s removed from the body. If HDL levels are low, LDL cholesterol will slowly build up in the arteries to form a thick. hard plaque deposit, a condition called atherosclerosis which can lead to a heart attack or stroke.

Want to Lower your cholesterol levels? Try these lifestyle changes:

• Stop Smoking
• Make Time for Physical Activity Daily
• Eat plenty of Fruits & Vegetables, Whole Grains and Fish
• Read Food Labels* and Avoid foods high in Saturated & Trans Fats
• Limit your cholesterol intake from Animal Fats, Cheese and Butter

 

* Quick Guide to reading cholesterol information on Food Labels

Cholesterol Free - less than 2 milligrams of Cholesterol and 2 grams or less of Saturated Fat

Low Cholesterol - 20 or fewer milligrams of Cholesterol and 2 grams or less od Saturated Fat

Reduced Cholesterol - at least 25% less Cholesterol than the regular product and 2 grams or less of Saturated Fat

 

The fats you choose to cook with and eat can make a huge difference in your heart health and total cholesterol level. The American Dietetic Association suggest that most of your fat intake should come from either monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fats. These are fats in oils from plants, like Olive, Corn, Canola, and other Vegetable oils, as well as Nuts & Peanut Butter. To keep our Heart healthy, limit your fat intake between 20%-35% of your total daily calories.
