Foods that lower cholesterol

To normalize the lipid balance in the body, it is necessary not only to reduce “bad” cholesterol, but also to increase “good”. To do this, there are natural products that, when added to dishes, achieve the desired result. Products that reduce total cholesterol in the blood:

1. Avocado. Due to the rich content of phytosterols, this fruit can reduce total cholesterol by about 8%, while the "good" lipids increase by 15%.
2. Olive oil. If in the daily nutrition animal and vegetable fats in dishes are replaced with olive oil (when frying, dressing salads), LDL blood levels can be reduced by 18%.
3. Almond. These nuts are able to deal with the problem of high cholesterol due to the content of the same plant sterols. The presence in the daily diet of 60 g of almonds makes it possible to reduce the overall level of lipids by 7%.
4. Cereals. Fiber, in large quantities contained in them, binds bad cholesterol and removes it from the body. A good habit for high cholesterol patients is eating breakfast oatmeal dishes.
5. Sardines, wild salmon, tuna, mackerel, cod and other fish that live in cold seas. They are rich in fish oil Omega 3, which regulates the production of lipids in the body.
6. Bee products: pollen and perga. They contribute to the natural elimination of cholesterol from the body.
7. Flax seeds. They also contain Omega 3, so when they are included in the diet they have a positive effect on the lipid balance.
8. Beans, lentils and peas. They are rich in coarse fiber, so meals based on them help to get rid of excess lipids.
9. Bran brown rice. This product kills two birds with one stone: it binds the "extra" cholesterol in the blood and removes it from the body, and is also rich in phytosterols, therefore it is able to inhibit lipid cells and not only reduce LDL, but also increase the level of good cholesterol.
10. All fruits are red, blue and purple. They are rich in polyphenols, which in turn contribute to the synthesis of "beneficial" cholesterol.
11. Fruits and berries are high in antioxidants: apples, kiwi, cranberries, currants, watermelons.

What products should be discarded with high cholesterol

One of the main causes of hypercholesterolemia is called malnutrition, when cholesterol in large quantities enters the body along with food. If a patient has such a pathology, doctors advise against the following products:

1. Margarine. This hydrogenated fat in a short time can significantly increase the level of "bad" cholesterol in the blood, so this product should be abandoned not only for patients with hypercholesterolemia, but also for healthy people.
2.   . Most of the cholesterol in the yolks, but the protein can be used in the diet.
3. Offal. They are very rich in animal fats, so the cholesterol in them is more than the acceptable limit. By the way, liver pate can be attributed to this category.
4. Meat products. First, they contain in the composition of pork, which itself is replete with animal fats. Secondly, all sorts of supplements can adversely affect the fat metabolism in the body.
5. Cheese. All such products with a fat content of more than 45% carry a direct threat to the vessels, since the lipids in the blood from them quickly rise.
6. Caviar. Oddly enough, this delicacy can harm the body and quickly increase the level of LDL in the blood.
7. Mussels, oysters are also able to raise cholesterol, so these dishes should indulge in exceptional cases.

Basic rules of nutrition with high cholesterol

The basis of the diet should be only foods with low cholesterol or no at all. But it is important not only to eat the “right” and healthy food, but also to competently organize the entire process of nutrition. For this, nutritionists give general rules:

• Enrich the diet with fiber - it will allow better remove the "bad" cholesterol from the body;
• Animal fats need to be replaced as much as possible with plant fats. It is necessary to minimize consumption or, if possible, to abandon fatty dairy products, meat (especially meat preparations), butter, margarine, and some others. A safe alternative must be sought: low-fat cottage cheese, milk, olive oil, etc .;
• Replace meat with fish. This makes it possible not only to reduce cholesterol entering the body, but also to consume fatty acids that stimulate lipid metabolism in the body;
• You need to control the daily intake of calories in the body to gradually bring the weight to normal. This factor will help to significantly reduce the risk of atherosclerosis;
• Prefer foods with a low glycemic index;
• It is recommended to eat in small portions at least 5 times a day;
• To reduce the consumption of sugar-containing products and baking to a minimum;
• Choosing the breakfast option, it is worth giving preference to cereals from unprocessed cereals;
• It is necessary to limit the daily salt intake to 5 g.

Nutritionists advise such patients to make up their daily diet in such a way that the daily energy value is in the range of 2200-2500 kcal. The result of compliance with this diet should be not only lowering cholesterol in the blood, but also the normalization of the liver and kidneys, accelerating metabolism and improving blood circulation.

To normalize lipid metabolism in the body, it is only necessary to revise your daily diet and make some amendments to it. If you competently make your diet, you can completely do without pills. But if the doctor insists on the start of drug therapy, you should not refuse it, since the result of the analysis for cholesterol in the blood can be disappointing: if the lipids in the blood are greatly increased, the high risk of vascular pathologies remains. In this case, statins, fibrins, nicotinic acid and some other cholesterol lowering medications are prescribed.

Elevated blood cholesterol is a rather serious problem, often involving the development of a number of diseases, for example, diseases of the cardiovascular system. What recipes and tips will help avoid this?

If you as a result of tests were found to have high cholesterol, then you need to follow a special diet that will stabilize the impaired metabolism and correct the formation of subcutaneous fat. The fact is that cholesterol is a fat-soluble substance that enters the body with food and is a product of metabolism.

Here we make a reservation that, on the one hand, being an important component of certain vital processes in the body, cholesterol, which is present in the blood in moderation, does not pose any threat. However, on the other hand, a significant increase in cholesterol may lead to metabolic disorders and provoke the occurrence of vascular pathologies, atherosclerosis and gallstone disease.

Consider the basic recommendations, tips and recipes used for high cholesterol.

1) Nutritional Features for High Cholesterol

Dieting will significantly reduce cholesterol in the blood and prevent the appearance of various diseases. In other words, a correctly formulated diet will help purify the blood and blood vessels, thereby ensuring health and beauty to the person.

The main rule that should be followed during the diet is quite simple: it is necessary to reduce the consumption of foods with saturated fats and high cholesterol.

As you know, every day a person needs 1000 mg of cholesterol. At the same time, about 80% of this norm is produced by the body independently, and the remaining 20% ​​of people receive it from animal products. (By the way, there is no cholesterol in plant foods.) Thus, for a healthy person, the daily norm is eating foods with a cholesterol content not exceeding 200-300 mg.

In general, a diet with elevated cholesterol involves eating foods rich in fiber, because fiber absorbs cholesterol, not allowing it to be absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract.

The maximum amount of fiber is in cereals, vegetables and fruits. These foods should make up at least 80-85% of your daily diet.

Before you go to viewing recipes with high cholesterol, you need to figure out which foods you can form your further diet, and which foods you should completely exclude from it.

Here we highlight those products, the cholesterol content in which can be called "critical." So, there is a lot of cholesterol in meat: fat and old pork, beef and old lamb. When dieting, one should not eat various by-products: brains, liver, kidneys, lung, etc. In one portion of such products may contain a dose of cholesterol, many times exceeding the daily requirement of the body. We illustrate: in 100 grams of chicken stomachs there are 212 mg of cholesterol, in the liver - 438 mg, and in beef kidneys - a record high rate! - 1126 mg.

  “Bad” cholesterol is also rich in processed meats and prepared foods. For example, 100 grams of sausages or sausages carry between 60 and 90 mg of cholesterol, and various canned foods range from 95 mg to 746 mg (canned cod liver). It is useful to remember that in these products there is a fair amount of salt, which in turn violates the water-salt balance in the body.

A lot of cholesterol in fatty poultry - goose, duck and chicken. The skin of these birds is especially harmful! To reduce the negative impact, it is necessary to release poultry meat from skin and fat before cooking, use only fat-free parts of the carcass, that is, the breast, and abandon frying and cooking in favor of baking.

In order to properly follow a diet with high cholesterol, it is not enough to know only the list of "prohibited foods". What about the other products of plant and animal origin? Are they all useful in dieting or do you need to pay attention only to some of them?

Most recipes for high cholesterol include the following rules for choosing foods.

Rule 1.Use fish instead of meat.

Besides the fact that fish contains essential fatty acids, vitamins and trace elements, it also has a low level of cholesterol. For example, in 100 grams of cod, perch or hake its not more than 65 mg, and in 100 grams of catfish, sea bass, bream, sturgeon or carp - not more than 85 mg. It should be borne in mind that the picture described does not apply to red and black caviar. Unfortunately, there are many of him - as much as 310 mg.

Rule 2.   Introduce into the diet of various cereals and cereals, as well as whole-grain bread.

These products really carry useful fiber. And to make porridge tastier, you can add walnuts, dried fruits, almonds and chestnuts. Indeed, in any nuts, a number of fatty monoacids are presented that regulate cholesterol levels. As for dried fruits, they have useful antioxidants, which also reduce cholesterol and prevent the development of cancer.

Rule 3.   Eating legumes (lentils, beans, peas).

And this is not just a recommendation, but an indispensable condition! Legumes are very rich in various substances and trace elements (folic acid, vitamin B, pectin). Daily consumption of legumes will reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10% in a month and a half.

Mandatory components of any diet with high cholesterol are vegetables and fruits enriched with vitamins and minerals. Every day they need to eat at least 400 grams. In this case, the motto “The more the better!”.

Can I drink coffee and alcohol with high cholesterol?

As a result of the research it was proved that alcohol in small doses has a protective effect against atherosclerosis. The weekly norm of alcohol-containing drinks for men is 21 conventional units, while for women - 14 conventional units.

Let us explain: 1 conventional unit is 8 grams of pure alcohol, which is equivalent to 30 grams of spirits, 200 grams of beer or wine.

It should be remembered that drinking alcohol is contraindicated if you suffer from hypertension or diabetes mellitus.

Strangely enough, the situation with coffee is much worse. During the diet should completely abandon its use, because it increases cholesterol. (Note: a total cessation of cholesterol by 17% in a month reduces the level of cholesterol.) Otherwise, people with not too high cholesterol can drink coffee with milk no more than 2-3 times a week.
