High Cholesterol And Saturated Fats
August 21st, 2008Did you know that when you eat any meal there are chances you are introducing cholesterol in your body?
Your body naturally produces cholesterol and does not require any extra cholesterol from the food you eat. Consuming foods high in cholesterol regularly could mean bad news for your body.
When you are looking at your diet and choosing what foods high in cholesterol to cut you should probably look at the content of saturated fat in your food first.
Meat products are a common culprit, containing both high cholesterol and saturated fats. Choose leaner cuts of meat and trim any visible fat before cooking. Switching to poultry such as chicken and turkey in place of steaks and pork can help you avoid foods high in cholesterol. It’s important however that you remove the skin on any poultry dish.
