Removing pork from your diet is a big step to reducing disease and enjoying better health. Studies reveal that in addition to cholesterol found in pork, it also contains a number of toxins and contaminants which are associated with human poisoning

Egg is an important protein food comparable to protein in meats, fish and poultry. It contains practically all the vitamins except ascorbic acid and important sources of iron, phosphorus.

If you have a family history of arteriosclerosis (a disease affecting the arterial blood vessel) and coronary heart disease (also called coronary artery disease), you should avoid or limit your intake of foods rich in cholesterol such as organ meats ; brain, kidney, liver, eggs, shell-fishes like crabmeat, lobster, oyster, milk and milk products.

Saturated fats found mostly in animal foods increase the amount of cholesterol in the blood and increase the risk of heart disease. The main sources of cholesterol are eggs, liver, and meat.

Saturated fats found mostly in animal foods increase the amount of cholesterol in the blood and increase the risk of heart disease. The main sources of cholesterol are eggs, liver, and meat.

Chicken, fish, nuts and beans or legumes provide zinc, magnesium and iron which, along with protein, are used by the body in creating hemoglobin and lean body tissue. These foods can also contribute to a elevated intake of saturated fat, so chose lean cuts of meat like flank or round steak, pork tenderloin, ham and leg of lamb. Skip the skin on chicken or turkey to avoid much of the fat and cholesterol.Limiting your fat intake to less than 30% of calories goes a long way to protect you from life threatening diseases. As there is some fat in dairy products and meat, chicken and fish; you are better off to avoid adding fat to your food.

Fats that are essential to good nutrition (like linoleic acid), are found in ample amounts in whole grain breads, cereals and vegetablesNon-dairy sources of calcium are salmon, sardines, dates, oranges, pinto beans, broccoli, kale, and calcium fortified juices, breads and cereals.

Most meat and poultry choices should be lean or low-fat. Fish, nuts, and seeds contain healthy oils, so choose these foods frequently instead of meat or poultry.

Liver and other organ meats are high in cholesterol. Egg yolks are also high in cholesterol, but egg whites are cholesterol-free.

Processed meats such as ham, sausage, frankfurters, and luncheon or deli meats have added sodiumThe leanest beef cuts include round steaks and roasts (round eye, top round, bottom round, round tip), top loin, top sirloin, and chuck shoulder and arm roasts

The leanest pork choices include pork loin, tenderloin, center loin, and ham. Boneless skinless chicken breasts and turkey cutlets are the leanest poultry choices. Women who may become pregnant, pregnant women, nursing mothers, and young children should avoid some types of fish and eat types lower in mercury

People who scramble Egg, boil, or poach one for breakfast -- versus eating a bagel with the same number of calories -- bypass junk-food cravings and eat fewer calories for at least 24 hours, without even trying

Tips for Healthy eating:

Select fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon, trout, and herring, more often

Choose extra lean ground beef. The label should say at least "90% lean". You may be able to find ground beef that is 93% or 95% lean

Buy skinless chicken parts, or take off the skin before cooking

Choose lean turkey, roast beef, ham, or low-fat luncheon meats for sandwiches instead of luncheon meats with more fat.

Trim away all of the visible fat from meats and poultry before cooking.

Broil, grill, roast, poach, or boil meat, poultry, or fish instead of frying

Drain off any fat that appears during cooking.

Skip or limit the breading on meat, poultry, or fish. Breading adds fat and calories. It will also cause the food to soak up more fat during frying

Choose and prepare foods without high fat sauces or gravies

Choose fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon, trout, and herring more often for lunch or dinner.

Choose dry beans or peas as a main dish or part of a meal often

Check the Nutrition Facts label for the saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, and sodium content of packaged foods

Cook foods to a safe temperature to kill microorganisms. Use a meat thermometer, which measures the internal temperature of cooked meat and poultry, to make sure that the meat is cooked all the way through.

Avoid raw or partially cooked eggs or foods containing raw eggs and raw or undercooked meat and poultry.

Processed meats such as hams, sausages, frankfurters, and luncheon or deli meats have added sodium.

Check the ingredient and Nutrition Facts label to help limit sodium intake.

I was on Benicar HCT 20/12.5 for three years until I recently started having leg cramps (calf). I reported this to my doc and she changed me on a trial basis to Benicar 40 mg. I have worked hard this year to lose weight--and have lost 10 pounds--with the goal of eventually getting off BP meds altogether. The 40 mg in just three days gave me dizziness and a headache that stayed with me all day. So my question is: if my goal is to eventually get off BP meds, shouldn't I stick with the lighter dosage (20 mg) without the diurectic instead of going up? maxmitch2002@yahoo.com Thanks.
