Learn some ways you can help reduce the “bad” cholesterol and increase the “good cholesterol” in your blood by knowing which foods to avoid, which foods to eat more of and how to cook them.
By choosing the right foods, you can help reduce the “bad” cholesterol (LDL) in your blood and increase the “good” cholesterol (HDL), which helps your body get rid of the “bad” cholesterol. Planning a heart-healthy diet means knowing which foods to eat more of and which foods to avoid. It means steaming, broiling, or grilling instead of frying. It also means controlling your portion size, choosing nutrient-rich foods and limiting fats and alcohol.
Plan your meals ahead of time to help ensure a healthy diet. Make a shopping list so that you have heart-healthy foods on hand. Consult with your doctor or a registered dietitian if you are not sure whether something is good or bad for your heart. And have your body mass index (BMI) checked next time you see your doctor. Eating right is the way to a healthy heart.
