What You Can Do to Maintain a Good Cholesterol HDL Ratio
April 6th, 2009 | by admin |By simply changing your eating habits to include a large variety of non cholesterol foods can really do its job by lowering your LDL level, which in turns increases your HDL level. The types of foods that do not contain cholesterol are nuts, grains, fruits and vegetables. Be mindful that when you are preparing these foods, adding margarine or butter (which are loaded in saturated fats) will defeat the whole purpose of trying to eat a healthy diet. Eating lean meats can also help to keep a healthy cholesterol HDL ratio. Animal foods like meat, poultry, seafood, eggs and dairy products are extremely high in cholesterol. Eating these foods occasionally, in moderation is perfectly acceptable once your levels have been brought down (or raised up) to healthy number. The ratio that you want to have to be at a reasonable number is under 4, preferably at 2 or 3. That is entirely possible with diligence and willpower.
