There are two types of cholesterol and they serve different purposes. Low-density lipoproteins, or LDL is a bad for of cholesterol and is undesirable. Conversely, High-density lipoproteins, or HDL are seen as good cholesterol. Your total cholesterol level will be measured either by an equation mixing the two or by a ratio of one to the other.
If you already have a particularly high cholesterol level, than it is advisable to look to food supplements for ways to lower your cholesterol. Other measures can also be taken to lower your cholesterol.
For instance:
* Avoid Pork and red meat like beef. These meats are generally higher in fat. Stick to lean chicken breast or fish which is rich in healthy fatty acids aimed to break down the saturated fat around your heart. Avoid chicken skins, deep fried fish, batter and crumbs. The more negative foods you eat the better in lowering your cholesterol. For example: celery and peppers burn more calories digesting them then the actual calories contained by either.
* Change your margarine to low fat, low cholesterol margarine such as Flora pro-active.
* Try drinking skimmed milk in your hot drinks as opposed to full fat which is full of saturated fat.
* Avoid low fat Join us like yoghurts, mayonnaise and cheese as sugar has usually replaced the fat which will turn into fat anyway when it is digested. This will increase your cholesterol which is not what you want. For example: Marsh mellows claim to be fat free which is true however the sugar content is very high thus the calories in a few mellows is equivalent to a bar of full fat chocolate.
* If the calorie content in a low fat product is lower than the original product than it is usually safe to choose this option.
* Make sure you eat raw unsalted nuts as roasting nuts cause the good oil to turn into bad oil.
* Take the GNLD vitality pack which includes Omega 3, Tre-en-en and Phytodefense. This will improve your cells’ rate of absorption of nutrients and exportation of waste, it will increase your immune system and help your joints, muscles and organs to function better.
