Take on cholesterol
The body needs cholesterol to function, but too much of it as with too much of anything is where the problems begin. Too much cholesterol clogs our arteries and increases our risk for heart disease and stroke.
Cholesterol is produced naturally by our bodies. We also get cholesterol from foods that originate from animals. So, it's best to avoid or limit animal products that contain high levels of saturated fat. Foods with unsaturated fats - monounsaturated and polyunsaturated are better for us, though even these should be eaten in moderation.
As for those trans fatty acids, vow to remove them from your diet as much as possible. They contain chemically altered atoms that some researchers consider more dangerous than saturated fats.
Foods with high levels of cholesterol: Bacon, butter, chocolate, cream, egg yolks, lard, margarine with trans fatty acids or partially hydrogenated oils, palm and palm kernel oil .
Foods that help lower cholesterol: Brown rice, dried beans, egg whites or egg substitutes, fruits, garlic, low-fat yogurt and cheese, oatmeal, salmon, soybeans, vegetables, walnuts, whole grain breads and cereals.
