1. NO TO FATTY RED MEAT.
The harmful fat we are talking about comes especially from eating foods of animal origin, such as red meat (chorizo, offal, roasts). The roast, so classic on our menu, at least from Sunday lunchtime, should be controlled, and confined to being very exceptional.
2. YES TO VEGETABLES.
In order to reduce the amount of fat in our diet, it is always advisable to choose foods of plant origin such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, seeds, nuts, vegetable oils and moderate -as we noted in the previous point- the consumption of those of animal origin .
3. EGGS YES/EGGS NO
There are always doubts about the consumption of eggs in the daily diet. If they can be eaten when on a diet, if their color influences their nutritional value or how many should be consumed per week, since historically the egg as a food has bad press for all those who have cholesterol. It must be said that it is a low-calorie food, it has only 75 calories and it also has the best proteins that a food can have. And most importantly: over time it was scientifically proven that the egg does not intervene in blood cholesterol.
4. GARLIC AND ONION, RE YES.
Garlic and onion have the ability to lower cholesterol levels, prevent the formation of clots in the arteries, improve circulation, help regulate blood pressure and strengthen the immune system. In addition, they collaborate with the prevention of certain types of cancer.
5. DON’T FORGET THE LEGUMES.
Legumes, in addition to giving you satiety for longer due to their high fiber content, are high in protein, they also help regulate cholesterol, are protective of the heart and arteries and benefit the intestinal flora. We usually eat them in stews in winter, but they are also great in salads and hamburgers, for example, with lentils. In addition, they are very accessible and are very profitable.
6. NUTS ARE NEVER TOO MUCH.
We could not close the note without saying that nuts contain a vegetable protein that gives us a lot of energy, good quality fatty acids and protectors of both the heart and the arteries. But recent studies also found that eating half a cup of walnuts a day is the best ally for lowering cholesterol.
