Fundamental rules: Two types of foods have to be well known: the saturated fat and the foods rich in cholesterol . The saturated fat is your principal enemy. They relate to primarily animal fat (solid at ambient temperature) with an exclusion with the fish fat. But the sea food has a huge level of cholesterol. Sea food is good for a diet but not for people affected by the cholesterol. What a paradox!
The practice: Used fats are vegetables and are useful for cooking or accompanying foods (olive oil, grape pips oil, vegetable margarine).
The dairy products which you consume without restriction will be always with a very low fat level. The regular milk contains animal fats. Therefore, you only can consume skimmed milk. And the light cheeses have to be consumed with moderation.
Bread Jose Fernandez Jersey , pasta, rice, fruits and vegetables can be consumed without moderation.
White meats (with an exception with the pork) and fishes are the best friends.
A place of choice is reserved with the apple rich in pectin whose regular consumption cause a drop in cholesterol.
It is the same with the red wine. With moderated consumption (two daily glasses), it contributes to the reduction of the cholesterol.
Certain modes of cooking must be privileged (will be discussed in a future article).
