Products to support healthy cholesterol levels
and to keep you heart healthy
Q What is Cholesterol and why is it important to maintain healthy cholesterol levels?
A Cholesterol is a substance
found in the blood and cells of our bodies; it
is used for digesting fats and producing cell
membranes and hormones. Our bodies produce Cholesterol,
but we also consume it from animal products such
as meat, eggs and cheese. It is important to maintain
healthy Cholesterol levels as a high level of
cholesterol in the blood is a major risk factor
for coronary disease. Bad cholesterol - low density
Lipoprotein (LDL) - is deposited in the body's
arteries, reducing blood flow to the organs. High
density lipoprotein (HDL) is known as good cholesterol.
Our liver makes this, which transports cholesterol
away from arteries. A high level of LDL in the
blood reflects an increased risk of heart disease.
Q What role does diet play in helping to maintain healthy cholesterol levels?
A Some factors - such as age,
gender, and genes - are predetermined; however
nutrition is important. High levels of saturated
fat increase LDL levels more than anything else
in the diet, so aim to cut down on high-fat animal
products. Excess weight also tends to increase
LDL levels. Therefore maintaining a healthy weight
is important. Being overweight tends to increase
blood cholesterol levels; losing weight has been
shown to lower levels. Regular physical activity
also gives great assistance in lowering bad cholesterol
levels and raising good cholesterol levels.
Q What else can I do to help protect my heart?
A Aim to reduce the consumption
of saturated fats. Fibre from fruit and vegetables
as well as supplements can help to eliminate toxic
waste products from the body, and may also help
support a healthy blood supply. Drinking eight
glasses of water each day and living an active
lifestyle can help you maintain a healthy weight.
Aim to minimise stress levels. This is because
high levels may contribute to low immunity health
with the result of major heart problems. Also
- don't smoke and only drink alcohol in moderation.
