Most people around the world have the false notion that having high cholesterol is a result of consuming excess fat or cholesterol. However, consuming sugary food also makes your liver turn excess sugar to fat. This can be very problematic and cause cholesterol levels to rise. To control your cholesterol levels, here are some tips you can take advantage of.
Avoid Trans-Fats
Trans-fat has been proven to be very dangerous for people who have low tolerance for high fats. Trans-fats are converted into yellow stuff that often blocks your arteries. This often leads to high blood pressure because of the narrowing of the blood vessels. When doing your grocery shopping, avoid labels that say “partially hydrogenated oil.” Even if the label says that the food does not contain any trans-fats try avoiding these foods.
You also need to use fresh garlic when preparing your food. Fresh garlic has been proven to have a great effect in lowering the cholesterol levels in the body. Try increasing its usage in preparing your food.
Increase Your Fiber Intake
Having enough fiber in your body has been shown to be very beneficial in the fight against excess cholesterol. Most of the soluble fiber in the body binds with cholesterol in the digestive system and helps in passing it out of the body. This significantly helps in reducing the level of cholesterol in the body. Some of the common foods that have this effect include the following: lentils, oats, freshly ground flax seed, apples, barley and carrots. You could also try out fiber from the Japanese konjac root. This can be consumed in the form of the shirataki noodles, in powder or capsule form.
