<h2>List of High Cholesterol Foods</h2>

You have been diagnosed with high cholesterol. Immediately you want a list of high cholesterol foods to avoid. You begin to think that if you avoid these foods all your problems will go away. The answer to high cholesterol is not that simple. 
 
High cholesterol foods have two main components. They contain saturated fats and cholesterol. The problem with these foods is the saturated fat component and not so much the cholesterol content. The saturated fat causes the liver to produce more cholesterol. An increase in ldl levels of cholesterol causes hardening of the arteries. In addition, the level of your triglycerides also increases. 
 
The key factor to high cholesterol foods is fat. You have to distinguish between bad fat and good fat. Cholesterol is present in seafood, but the polyunsaturated fat it contains causes the liver to produce less ldl cholesterol and more hdl cholesterol. The good fat counter balances the cholesterol content. Cholesterol levels are affected by the type of fat you eat. Replace saturated fat and hydrogenated fat with polyunsaturated and monosaturated fats. 
 
Your diet should include: 
 -lean cut meat 
 -poultry with no skin 
 -no cake, cookies, or donuts 
 -no chips 
 -no fast foods 
 -no hydrogenated fat 
 -low fat or skim dairy product 
 
You should cook with olive oil or canola oil. Do not use butter. 
The following foods contain no cholesterol: 
 -vegetables 
 -fruits grains 
 -nuts 
 -seeds 
 -vegetable oil 
 
Diet alone will not solve your high cholesterol problems. You need to exercise, loose weight, and stop smoking. Prescription drugs may be required, if a life style change does not Any approach that you decide to take should be done under a doctor's supervision.
