Your first steps to a healthier diet

 

Let’s beginn by explaning:

There are two main categories of fat in the diet. These are the saturated fats and the polyunsaturated fats.

Saturated fats tend to raise blood cholesterol levels and polyunsaturated fats tend to lower them.

A healthy diet can lower the level of cholesterol in your blood and so reduce your risk of heart disease.

 

Here are some simple ways you can reduce the saturated fat in your everyday diet.

 

Change to skimmed milk in your tea or coffee and on cereals.
Use a low- fat spread or polyunsaturated margarine on bread.
Trim off any fat that you can see on meat before you eat it.
Grill meat instead of frying it. If you need to fry, use a vegetable oil such as sunflower oil.
Check the list of foods that you can eat regularly or occasionally.

 

Remember:
A cholesterol-lowering eating plan is a long-term commitment. You should do your best to keep to your plan as closely as possible. The occasional lapse is not a problem provided you go back to your diet straight afterwards.
