Cholesterol, despite its huge reputation as a villain, 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, some changes in eating habits can be the definitive solution to cholesterol problems.
- Physical activities: do not reduce cholesterol directly, but they help burn body fat, which benefits the body. Walking and exercising promote weight loss, as well as the control of diabetes and hypertension.
- Meats: avoid eating meats; reduce consumption to three times a week, especially cuts rich in fats. On the other hand, increase the consumption of chicken and fish.
- Food preparation: careful food preparation is important to control cholesterol levels. When consuming chicken, the skin should be removed before cooking, reducing some cholesterol in your diet. Do not use butter; prefer olive oil or light margarine. Non-stick pans are excellent for cooking because you do not have to use much oil when grilling or roasting.
- Fruits and vegetables: these are important foods for people with high cholesterol as they reduce the absorption of fats in the body. Whenever possible, consume these foods raw to make better use of their nutrients.
