Cheerios for breakfast with skim milk.  It's been proven to lower cholesterol.  Other foods high in dietary fiber can help, as well as eating a lot of vegetables.  If you don't currently exercise, start out by walking more.  Walk for half an hour three days a week.  Studies have shown that losing just 10 pounds can have a significant health benefit.\n\nIf you haven't already been tested, I would get your cholesterol checked so that you can have a baseline to compare to after you get healthy!\n\nGood luck!

Something green.  Your table is looking a little beige.  Whenever I see that my meal is looking 'beige' I add green or red.  \n\nSteamed kale or any greens would be nice.  Even some steamed green beans would round it off.  What about a salad of mixed greens, grape tomates, and cucumber (simple) to start?\n\nHappy eating!

Artichoke juice has been proven to reduce high LDL cholesterol.\n\nShrimp and other shellfish are fairly high in cholesterol; however, they are low in saturated fat. Therefore, these foods can be eaten in moderation -- even if you have high cholesterol.

Reduce sugars and simple carbs - that means reduce the donuts, the funnel cakes, the cookies and the white bread...\n\nInstead try\n\nWhole wheat bread/pasta, veggies, fruits\n\nEat more protein - skiness and fat free chicket breasts, tuna, salmon, beef (lean cuts like top sirloin and top round), fat free cottage cheese

As mentioned above:  exercise (preferably aerobic enough to get you sweating) and soluble fiber* - oatmeal is one source (probably the best source), but isn't the only source.  \n\nAnother method of reducing cholesterol is to take niacin.  Note that niacin had a side effect called "niacin flush" which is rather unpleasant.  To prevent this, take a timed release version of niacin.\n\n*The more I learn, the more I find out that most health problems are due to either a lack of exercise or inadequate fiber.

Give up the white breads, saturated fats and red meat and try eating more bright colored veggies, nuts, fish,  whole grains and lentils to up your good cholesterol level.

There are different ways to lower your cholesterol. You should always talk with your family doctor because he/she will know best which changes in your overall life might help the most.\n\nThe following life style changes often help regulate cholesterol:\n* regular physical activity\n* reduce over all stress\n* get regular and enough sleep\n* avoid transfats, instead use fats with polyunsaturated fatty acids (salmon and other fish) or monounsaturated fatty acids (olive oil as example)\n* increase the amount of dietary fibre

Cholesterol is produced by your body and is also present in foods of animal origin. While we could not survive without cholesterol, levels that are too high may contribute to heart disease.\n \n \nSteps:\n1.  Keep a food diary. Write down what you eat every day for a week. This is an easy method of evaluating what types of foods you are eating and if they are high in fat and cholesterol.\n \n2.  Reduce your intake of foods high is saturated fat, which will raise your blood cholesterol higher than anything else you eat. Saturated fat is found primarily in foods from animals, such as fatty red meat, poultry skin, whole milk, butter and lard. Plant sources of saturated fat include coconut oil and palm oil.\n \n3.  Cut down on your overall intake of fat. That will reduce your saturated fat intake.\n \n4.  Set a goal of having fat make up 30 percent or less of the total day's calories. No more than 8-10 percent should be from saturated fat.\n \n5.  Replace saturated fat, such as butter and lard, with polyunsaturated or monounsaturated fats, such as olive oil and canola oil.\n \n6.  Choose foods that are naturally low in fat, such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains. They are also high in fiber, vitamins and minerals.\n \n7.  Reduce or eliminate your intake of fast foods. Many of them tend to be very high in fat, especially those that are fried and breaded.\n \n8.  Eat less dietary cholesterol. Only animal foods contain dietary cholesterol, so reduce or eliminate animal products. Avoid consuming more than 300mg of cholesterol per day.\n \n9.  Experiment with new ways of eating. Check out different ethnic cuisines, such as Thai and other Asian cuisines, in which the traditional diet is low in fat. Order pizza with low fat mozzarella, minus the pepperoni but topped with fresh veggies.\n \n10.  Buy a vegan/vegetarian cookbook and try having at least two or three meatless dinners a week.\n \n11.  Exercise. Find a sport you like, join a gym, do whatever it takes to get your body moving. Exercise can help lower your blood cholesterol; it can also help with weight loss and keep your heart healthy.

Eat foods that satiate (fill you up with fewer calories).  Good choices are oatmeal, soups and vegetarian chili.  When making a soup you could also add some quick-cooking oatmeal to it..this thickens it up a bit and is very healthy.\n\nAlso, try drinking a glass of ice-cold water 30 minutes Before each meal.

Instead of going to the candy aisle for a good snack, try to find some healthy foods that interest you. Try baby carrots in low fat ranch dip, or celery with peanut butter. If you feel a little weak, and need a pick-me-up, grab a couple of ritz crackers (starch), peanut butter (protien), and eat.\n\nYou can also, when eating, limit the size of your snack, which is guarenteed to reduce your waistline. Say, if the size of your "snack" is larger than your fist, there's a good chance that it could be a meal instead of "just a snack".\n\nSigning off,\n     Trish

There are many things you can do for cholesterol.  first off you must know that cholesterol is made in the liver and is natural. But of course if you have too much, it can become a problem.  Appox. 95% of all ingested fats are triglycerides.  Even though our bodies needs cholesterol to make hormones and deal with stress and trauma, the wrong ratio of cholesterol types can pose a problem.  \nHDL, the supposed good cholestorol is actually the transporter(high-density lipoprotein) just as LDL(low density lipoprotein), bad cholesterol, is also a transporter.  LDL brings cholesterol and triglycerides from the liver and out to the body putting the circulatory system at risk.  HDL brings fat back to the liver to be processed and excreted or used.  If one has too much LDL over HDL, then it becomes a dangerous ratio for heart disease.  This is in part due to the Standard American Diet(SAD) that has too much saturated fats and not enough unsaturated fats.  And our brains and nerve system as well as our very cell membranes need EFA's, essential fatty acids, from good oils/fats. Therefore, diet is absolutely important.  But so is lifestyle and stress reduction.    \nOne thing you can do is increase your HDL, good cholesterol by including  UNsaturated fats( increase HDL) with Omegas(3/6/9) in your diet.   Esp. Omega-3 fatty acids.  They include avocado/safflower/coconut/fish/flaxseed  and especially most importantly olive oil.  Flax is  one of the best ways to get Omegas and has the highest concentrates of it.  Olive oil is best to use when cooking or with salads.  If you like the taste of flax oil, it's good in salads and over food.   Otherwise seeds ground or in meal is good in salads or porridge.  Cold water fish oil(omega 3/6/9) are good in capsules.  Fresh cold/deepwater fish is good to eat on occasion but one must watch out for the heavy metals in them so capsules are a good way to avoid that.  Make sure you get a brand  that says 'third party inspected' and molecularly distilled.  \nAs far as diet, remember, saturated fats( which increase LDL), animal fats, are literally saturated and do not move as much through your veins.  That is why they cause blockages to your heart/brain.  At room temperature they are solid.  Therefore in your body they can block up your veins if there is more of that than unsaturated, liquid.  You need a lot of unsaturated fats to keep things flowing as well as EFA's(essential fatty acids/Omegas) are good for your brain, mood, cellular and hormone support.  so try and keep your animal fats to a minimum and eat healthy versions:   pure butter, free-range, antibiotic/hormone FREE meats of any kind; free range eggs etc...and increase your vegetables like broccoli, kale and leafy greens, good nuts (look up which are higher in EFA's, ie. walnuts) and whole grains which are good for lowering cholesterol because they provide ruffage to help keep bowels flowing...which taxes the liver less and the liver needs all the help it can get...so if your digestion is good and smooth, then your liver is less stressed  and can perform better, thereby also helping with cholesterol. \nI could go on but check this out further if you need to.   \n\nhope that helps!!
