A high cholesterol level has been linked with a number of diseases. There are many factors that contribute to the increase in cholesterol level. The most prominent among them is to following a diet that is high in saturated fat. Prolonged intake of fat foods, lack of exercises, smoking and drinking habits can contribute to the unhealthy increase of LDL (bad cholesterol).
Low cholesterol diet plan together with healthy lifestyle can help a lot in reducing high cholesterol levels and therefore reduce the risk of developing heart disease. Before you begin indulging a low cholesterol diet program, you should have some idea on what foods are safe to eat and what are not.
You should follow a low cholesterol diet plan to decrease the total intake of saturated fat, calories, and cholesterol in the body and also to lose some weight. The types of foods that can do this for you include mainly fruits and vegetables.
Foods belonging in low cholesterol group have very high fiber content. Dietary fiber soaks cholesterol like sponge and helps get rid of it by disposing it out of the body. Fruits such as apples, oranges and pears are high in fiber content. Oats and carrots are also rich in fiber content.
Increasing the amount of omega-3 fats and decreasing the amount of omega-6 in your diet is another effective way in reducing your risk for heart disease. Foods rich in omega-3 fats are salmon, tuna canned in water, cod, flaxseed, soybeans, walnuts, pecans, wheat germ, canola oil and olive oil.
Eat healthy low cholesterol diet for a healthy heart!
