Cholesterol, despite its bad reputation, is an essential fat in the body. However, there are two types of cholesterol: HDL, known as "good" cholesterol, and LDL, known as "bad" cholesterol, which when in excess can cause cardiovascular problems.
In many cases, high LDL levels are caused by genetic factors, and treatment can be done with medication. However, high cholesterol levels in some people are caused by a poor diet. In these cases, making some dietary changes may be the ultimate solution to cholesterol problems.
- Physical activities: they do not reduce cholesterol, but they help burn body fat, which benefits the body. Walking and exercising help with weight loss, diabetes control, and hypertension.
- Meats: avoid eating meats, limit consumption to three times a week, especially fatty cuts. On the other hand, increase your intake of chicken and fish.
- Food preparation: careful food preparation is important to control cholesterol levels. When consuming chicken, be sure to remove the skin before cooking, reducing some cholesterol in your diet. Avoid using butter, and prefer olive oil or light margarine. Non-stick pans are excellent for cooking since you don’t need to use as much oil when grilling.
- Fruits and vegetables: these are essential foods for people with high cholesterol, as they help reduce fat absorption in the body. Whenever possible, consume these foods fresh to make better use of their nutrients.
