Food cholesterol

Several factors influence the blood cholesterol levels. A balanced food mode, a standard weight and the physical-activity in particular can contribute toa normal cholesterol level.

Certain food (eggs, liver, kidney and shrimps) contains naturally cholesterol (food cholesterol). In the majority of the cases, cholesterol present in food does not have as much influence on the blood cholesterol level than the quantity and the type of consumed greases, although certain people can be more sensitive to high cholesterol contributions.

Edible fats are often divided into saturated greases and unsaturated greases. In general, the majority of saturated greases increase the cholesterol levels total and LDL. Saturated greases are present in the butter, the lard (and food manufactured with these ingredients like pastry makings, the cakes and biscuits), the meat products (salami, pies and sausages), the cream, the cheese and the food which contains oil of coconut or palm. Certain unsaturated greases can contribute to reduce the cholesterol levels LDL and it is generally advised to replace the greases saturated by unsaturated greases. The food which contains unsaturated greases is the vegetables, oils of seeds and the pastes to be pasted containing seed oils (oil of colza, olive oil, paste to be pasted with soya), as well as oils of fish (p. e.g., mackerel, salmon and herring), the dry fruits in hull and lawyers.
