The Real Deal About Cholesterol

As I have said, the issue is that the arteries are clogged, not so much the cholesterol level. Avoid These Some foods which contain cholesterol could clog your arteries and should be avoided: red meats, beef, ham, pork, duck, sausages, bacon, hard aged cheeses, etc. Then there are some foods which don’t contain cholesterol which can clog your arteries and should be avoided: nutbutters, unfermented soy (tofu, soy milk, edamame), vegetable oils (sunflower, safflower, canola, peanut, palm kernel, margarines, Crisco, Earth Balance, soy margarine, Country Crock, etc). DO Eat These Then there are some foods which contain cholesterol which will not clog your arteries, such as ghee, unhomogenized, boiled milk, and soft curd cheeses (ricotta, fresh mozzarella, cottage cheese, farmer cheese and paneer, chicken, turkey, fish, lamb, goat). The Importance of the Liver and Gall Bladder We should keep our liver and gall bladder in good shape, as they have to clear cholesterol out of the blood. Just lowering it with dangerous statin drugs or even red yeast rice, niacin and fish oil aren’t recommended as they are lowering much-needed cholesterol without regard to these deeper issues. On top of that, they are harmful to the liver whose job is to control levels in the first place. Good forms of cholesterol are important for brain and nervous system function, a healthy and radiant glow, and keep us young as the reproductive and adrenal hormones in both men and women are made of cholesterol.
