Diet to Lower Cholesterol

Do the results of your lipid profile scare you?   Are you confused about LDL, HDL and Triglycerides?   Idietitian is there for you to help you understand what all these mean. TheSpecialized Diet Plans by Idietitian are there to help you have a healthy heart by balancing your lipids.   Oatmeal contains soluble fiber, which reduces your low-density lipoprotein (LDL), the "bad" cholesterol. Soluble fiber is also found in kidney beans, apples, pears, barley and prunes. You should cut back on the cholesterol and total fat — especially saturated and Trans fats. Saturated fats, like those in meat, full-fat dairy products and some oils, raise your total cholesterol. Trans-fats, which are found in biscuits, cookies and cakes, are particularly bad for your cholesterol levels. Trans-fats raise LDL, the "bad" cholesterol, and lower HDL, the "good" cholesterol.
