TIPS TO HELP LOWER CHOLESTEROL

• Eat meat sparingly. Relegate meat to a minor part of your diet instead of making it the centrepiece of most meals.
• Opt for low-fat dairy products. Avoid dairy foods that contain whole milk or cream; instead, use low-fat or nonfat versions.
• Watch the snacks. Choose low-fat snacks (homemade popcorn, carrots, dried fruits, or fresh fruits) instead of high-fat ones like potato chips and candy bars.
• Cut down on saturated fat in cooking. Use liquid cooking oils rather than butter or margarine. Use nonstick pans. Instead of frying your food, bake, broil, roast, steam, or stew it.
• Avoid palm and coconut oils. Most vegetable oils are unsaturated, but these two contain mostly saturated fat. Choose canola, sunflower, safflower, corn, soybean, olive, and peanut oils.
• Reduce dietary cholesterol. Strive to eat less than 200 mg of dietary cholesterol a day. Limit eggs to no more than four egg yolks per week; two egg whites can replace a whole egg in most recipes.
• Increase complex carbohydrates and fibre. Emphasise foods with complex carbohydrates—such as fruits and vegetables, whole-grain products, and legumes (dried beans and peas)—that are low in calories and high in fibre.
• Eat fruits and vegetables. To protect your heart, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables.
Go for nuts. Nuts are associated with a lower risk of heart disease. They’re a healthful and filling source of protein, but go easy on them; they have lots of calories, so too much could cause weight gain.
• Add fish to your diet. Countries with high fish consumption have a lower risk of death from all causes, as well as from cardiovascular disease.
