Tips Cholesterol Food for choosing meal / food :
1. Do not cut out all dairy foods
Some people believe that cutting out dairy foods altogether is the safest option, but this is not true. Dairy foods are an important part of the daily diet and contribute many essential nutrients, especially calcium. You should switch to low fat types, which will reduce the risk from saturated fats.
2. You do not need to avoid eggs and seafood
Some foods are high in cholesterol but they are fine to eat in moderation, as long as your overall diet is low in saturated fats. For example:
- Egg yolks, these are high in cholesterol but are rich in several other nutrients.
It is recommended that you limit the number of eggs you eat to the equivalent of one a day (whole or in dishes). - Seafood, prawns and seafood contain some cholesterol but they are low in saturated fat and also contain healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Seafood is a healthy food and should not be avoided just because it contains cholesterol. However, avoid fried and battered seafood.
3. Foods that may lower cholesterol levels
Some studies have suggested that eating oats and legumes may lower LDL cholesterol. Food components like saponins (found in chickpeas, alfalfa sprouts and other foods) and sulphur compounds (like allicin found in garlic and onions) may also have a positive effect on cholesterol levels.
4. Plant sterols can lower cholesterol levels
Plant sterols are found naturally in plant foods including sunflower and canola seeds, vegetable oils and (in smaller amounts) in nuts, legumes, cereals, fruit and vegetables. Some margarine has concentrated plant sterols added to it. Plant sterol enriched margarines may help to lower LDL cholesterol.
