Your Questions About Cholesterol Diet
August 3rd, 2011 by health

Sandy asks…

Cholesterol Diet?

What is a good Low Cholesterol Diet? I’m a slim woman, but blood work done by my doctor showed my cholesterol level at 214, when the average level is 170. So, they suggested more exercise (which I get quite a bit of already) and a low cholesterol diet. Any suggestions for that?

health answers:

Cut back on meats and fatty food such as whole dairy products, baked goods like cake and donuts.

Eat lean meats in moderation, eat apples, oatmeal, grapes, whole grains which are all soluble fiber and they help remove cholesterol.

How important is Watching SODIUM Levels in a Diet with LOW CHOLESTEROL?

When buying things/food with LOW CHOLESTEROL I’ve noticed that sometimes, even though there is ZERO or Low cholesterol the SODIUM level is really high…
how important is it to keep Sodium levels LOW for someone with HIGH CHOLESTEROL ??
when told to keep a low cholesterol diet, what other things should I watch for in food labels?

THANK YOU 🙂

health answers:

Sodium levels have nothing to do with cholesterol directly. Some individuals are said to be ‘salt sensitive’. These individuals may develop hypertension due to excessive salt intake. Hypertension magnifies the risk of elevated cholesterol levels. Therefore it is important to limit salt as well as cholesterol.

As with most foods nowadays – the less processed the better. Good for you for reading the labels. You can find simpler foods without out all the additives…

Donna asks…

How can I go on a cholesterol diet?

My cholesterol has gone up recently and I’m trying to lower it. The problem is that I’m already skinny. I want to lower my cholesterol without getting skinnier. What should I do? I also have a very fast metabolism. Would that affect what kind of effect a diet would have on me? I’m a 14-year-old girl, so I’m probably gonna need a specific kind of diet plan for my age and gender.

health answers:

Eat foods with soluble fiber, like oatmeal, fruits & veggies.
Avoid red meats & butter, with saturated fats, & trans-fats.
Get whole-grain bread & pasta, or brown rice for carbs.

At your age of 14, you really should discuss this with your doctor and with a nutritionist – you are going through puberty – so you want to be very wise about your diet. You should verify that your cholesterol levels are actually a problem for your age.
