The Pork Predicament – Cholesterol Center

Is Pork Really Bad for You?

Is pork really healthy if you have high cholesterol? It all depends on the cut you choose and how you cook it.

“Just like with beef or chicken, there are high-fat and lean cuts of pork,” says nutrition expert Lanah J. Brennan, RD, in Lafayette, Louisiana.

The protein food group includes foods with varied amounts of fat: meat, poultry, fish, eggs, nuts, seeds, beans, and peas. For adults who get less than 30 minutes of moderate exercise a day, men should get about 6 ounces (oz) of protein every day, and women 5 oz, according to the USDA. The key is to get that protein from sources low in saturated fat for the best nutrition when you’re living with high cholesterol.

Saturated fat is fat that primarily comes from animal-based foods, like meat and dairy. It’s the type of fat that’s solid at room temperature, like butter, lard, and shortening. If you put some fatty leftovers in your refrigerator, what you see clumping at the surface is saturated fat. The risk of having too much saturated fat in the diet is that it’s linked to high cholesterol levels in the blood. This cholesterol may later clump in your arteries in the form of plaque, causing heart disease.

Pork and Cholesterol: Think Lean

If you choose pork as a protein source, the word to keep in mind is “lean,” which means less saturated fat.

“Pork is lean, compact, white meat if you pick the loin cut,” says Amanda Meadows, RD at the Methodist Hospital Weight Management Center in Houston. “A serving of pork loin with the fat trimmed off is about the same as eating an equivalent serving of chicken with the skin trimmed off,” says Meadows.

Pork tenderloin is another lean cut to look for. “It contains 3.5 grams (g) fat,  and 1 g is saturated fat, in a 3 oz serving — that’s similar to a 3 oz chicken breast,” says Brennan. A pork chop has five times as much saturated fat. When you go shopping, it’s good to know that a center cut of pork is also lean meat.

“Ham is red-meat pork, but if you trim the fat, it’s also a lean cut,” says Meadows. Keep in mind that ham, like other processed meats, is still higher in sodium.

“One ounce of lean pork has about 45 calories, which is the same as 1 oz of chicken. Cutting off the fat helps. A 3 oz serving of roasted pork center loin has about 169 calories with the fat trimmed, but about 200 calories if you leave the fat on,” says Meadows.

Pork and High Cholesterol: What to Limit

Some cuts of pork, such as spareribs, can be as bad for you as any red meat when it comes to the fat content. “Pork spareribs are a high-fat cut — 25 g of fat in a 3 oz serving,” says Brennan. “Worse yet, out of those 25 g fat, 9 g are saturated fat.”

“Pork choices you really ought to limit or avoid include sausage, bacon, and ground pork,” says Meadows, adding, “Canadian bacon is leaner as long as you cut away the fat.”

Kitchen Cues for Healthier Pork Options

“Lean, white-meat pork is as healthy as chicken but not as healthy as fish,” Meadows points out.  Current dietary recommendations are to eat fish as your protein source at least twice a week.

Try these heart-smart cooking rules when you choose pork:

• Choose lean cuts not marbled with fat.
• Cut any fat off the meat before cooking or eating.
• Skim any saturated fat before reheating leftovers.
• At a restaurant or at home, choose roasted, broiled, or grilled, not fried.
• Avoid breading and frying — breading adds calories and soaks up fat.
• Avoid barbecue sauce and pork gravy.

Trying to spice it up? Reach for herbs and vegetable ingredients when you’re doing the cooking. “To flavor pork, try calorie-free herbs and spices,” says Meadows. “Salsa is also a healthy flavoring choice.”

Pork can be the “other white meat” — if you follow these guidelines, you can still meet your main goal to avoid saturated fat when you have high cholesterol.

The 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend consuming less than 10 percent of your daily calories from saturated fat. That means skipping high-fat pork options, like sausage, bacon, and spareribs — and thinking lean.

High-Cholesterol Foods to Eat and Avoid – Health Essentials from Cleveland Clinic

Remember when experts said to avoid cholesterol-rich foods like eggs? The thought was that cholesterol in food raised your blood cholesterol and risk of heart disease, but recent studies have found that some high-cholesterol foods may not raise your heart disease risk after all.

Cleveland Clinic is a non-profit academic medical center. Advertising on our site helps support our mission. We do not endorse non-Cleveland Clinic products or services. Policy

Still, this doesn’t mean you can ignore the amount of cholesterol you consume. Registered dietitian Julia Zumpano, RD, LD, explains how to make sense of the confusing cholesterol advice out there.

Should you eat a low-cholesterol diet?

“It’s safe to have some cholesterol in your diet,” Zumpano says, “but many high-cholesterol foods also contain high amounts of saturated fat. ”

And therein lies the problem with many high-cholesterol foods: While some cholesterol in your diet is fine, lots of saturated fat isn’t. Diets high in saturated fat are linked to increased blood cholesterol and heart disease risk.

Most people can, in moderation, eat “healthy” high-cholesterol foods — those that have high cholesterol but low saturated fat content. But limit or avoid “unhealthy” high-cholesterol foods, which are also high in saturated fat. Here’s how to stock your kitchen.

High-cholesterol foods to eat

These high-cholesterol foods can be part of a heart-healthy diet:

• Eggs: The cholesterol in eggs gets a bad rap. One egg contains about 60% of the daily value of cholesterol, but it only contains 8% of your allowance for saturated fat. Eggs are high in protein, low in calories and contain B vitamins, iron and disease-fighting nutrients.

• Shellfish: Some types of shellfish are higher in cholesterol than others. Shrimp is notoriously high in cholesterol, packing in more than half of your daily value in a 3-ounce serving, but its saturated fat content is practically nonexistent. And shellfish is a good source of protein, B vitamins, selenium and zinc.

“Eggs and shellfish have nutritional benefits that may outweigh the cholesterol content,” Zumpano says. “But if you have high cholesterol, eat limited amounts of these foods. Stick to a weekly intake of four egg yolks or two servings of shellfish.”

That said, egg whites contain plenty of protein without any of the cholesterol. So enjoy egg whites all you like — just keep track of how many whole eggs or egg yolks you’re consuming.

High-cholesterol foods to limit and healthy swaps

Most other high-cholesterol foods are also high in saturated fat. Because saturated fat is linked to a higher risk of heart disease, it’s best to limit or avoid these foods. These swaps will help you find healthier options.

Full-fat dairy

Whole milk, butter and full-fat yogurt and cheese are high in saturated fat. Cheese also tends to be high in sodium, and most Americans get too much sodium, too.

Healthy swap: Drink skim (non-fat), 1% or 2% milk to get your calcium intake. Look for non-fat or low-fat yogurt varieties. Limit cheese to about 3 ounces per week. Choose part-skim cheese such as Swiss or mozzarella. Use extra-virgin olive oil or avocado oil instead of butter.

Processed meat

Bacon, sausage and hot dogs are usually made from fatty cuts of beef or pork.

Healthy swap: Limit processed meat in general because of its high sodium content and low nutrition. Instead, choose minimally processed sausage or deli meat made from lean turkey or chicken.

Red meat

Steak, beef roast, ribs, pork chops and ground beef tend to have high saturated fat and cholesterol content.

Healthy swap: Use 90% lean ground beef, lean cuts of beef (such as sirloin, tenderloin, filet or flank steak, pork loin or tenderloin), and focus on lower-fat sources of animal protein, such as baked skinless or lean ground poultry.

Fried foods

French fries, fried chicken with skin and other foods cooked in a deep fryer have a high amount of saturated fat and cholesterol from the oil they’re cooked in.

Healthy swap: Eat baked chicken or turkey without the skin, baked potatoes or baked “fries” tossed with a little olive oil.  Try using an air fryer for a lower-fat “fried” food taste.

Baked goods and sweets

Cookies, cakes and doughnuts usually contain butter or shortening, making them high in saturated fat and cholesterol.

Healthy swap: Make your desserts at home, choosing recipes that don’t need shortening or lots of butter. You can also enjoy baked fruit as a dessert, or substitute applesauce for eggs or butter in your baking. Cut sugar in half or to three-quarters the recommended amount, as sugar can lead to high levels of blood triglycerides which are another unhealthy blood fat (lipid) that can be a risk factor for coronary heart disease.

Moderation is key

You don’t have to eliminate all the unhealthy high-cholesterol foods. Focus on your overall diet and make healthy choices most of the time. “Enjoy the less healthy foods as occasional treats, not as everyday meal choices,” Zumpano says.

And if you’re not sure where to start with a healthy eating plan, ask your healthcare provider. A licensed nutritionist or registered dietitian can customize a diet that works with your health goals.

Pork Nutrition Facts and Health Benefits

Pork is sometimes called “the other white meat” because it can be a good source of lean protein, like poultry is. It offers many of the same nutrients as beef often with less fat and calories, although this depends on cut and preparation. Pork is commonly consumed around the world, especially in the U.S. and Asia, but it is not permitted in certain religions (namely Islam and Judaism).

Pork Nutrition Facts

The following nutrition information is provided by the USDA for a 3-ounce (85g) serving of baked pork tenderloin.

• Calories: 122
• Fat: 3g
• Sodium: 48mg
• Carbohydrates: 0g
• Fiber: 0g
• Sugars: 0g
• Protein: 22g

Other cuts of pork include cutlets and ground pork.

• A cooked, medium pork cutlet or steak provides 239 calories, 34g protein, 10g fat, 4g saturated fat, 697mg sodium, and 0g carbohydrate, if you eat only the lean part of the steak.
• A 3-ounce serving of ground pork cooked provides 252 calories, 22g protein, 18g fat, 7g saturated fat, 62mg sodium, and 0g carbohydrate.

However, the pork chop is a far more popular cut of this meat, and the nutrition and calories for this cut vary greatly based on preparation.

• A 3-ounce pork chop (broiled or baked) provides 180 calories, 24g protein, 9g fat, 2g saturated fat, 438mg sodium, and 0g carbohydrate, if you eat both the lean and the fatty part of the chop.
• A 3-ounce pork chop (broiled or baked) provides 140 calories, 25g protein, 3.8g fat, 1g saturated fat, 447mg sodium, and 0g carbohydrate, if you eat only the lean part of the chop. 
• A 3-ounce pork chop (breaded and fried) provides 258 calories, 20g protein, 13g fat, 3g saturated fat, 465mg sodium, and 14g carbohydrate, if you eat both the lean and fatty part of the chop.

Pork is also used in many other meat products and processed meats.

• A 3-ounce serving of pork sausage: 276 calories, 16g protein, 23g fat, 8g saturated fat, 693mg sodium, 1g carbohydrate
• One medium slice of cooked pork bacon: 37 calories, 3g protein, 3g fat, 1g saturated fat, 135mg sodium, 0 grams carbohydrate
• A single serving (85 grams) of pulled pork: 200 calories, 12g protein, 16g fat, 6g saturated fat, 490mg sodium, 2g carbohydrate
• A 2-ounce serving of Spam (made from pork shoulder and other ingredients): 180 calories, 7g protein, 16g fat, 6g saturated fat, 790mg sodium, 1g carbohydrate

Carbs

Pork contains no carbohydrates, unless it is prepared with breading, barbecue sauce, or some other sugar or starch.

Fats

As an animal product, pork contains both saturated and unsaturated fats. If you are trying to limit your saturated fat consumption (as recommended by the American Heart Association), look for cuts of pork that include the word “loin,” as in pork loin or pork tenderloin.

Protein

Pork, depending on the cut, is often an excellent source of lean protein.

Vitamins and Minerals

Pork is an excellent source of thiamin, niacin, riboflavin, vitamin B6, and phosphorus. It is a good source of zinc and potassium.

Health Benefits

Pork contains many of the micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) found in beef and it is high in protein, but can be lower in fat than beef—depending on cut and preparation.

Protects Muscle Mass

As we age, our muscles become weaker, which can lead to disability and injury. Consuming adequate amounts of dietary protein, along with physical exercise, helps slow this weakening of the muscles (known as sarcopenia). 

Helps Cells Grow and Function

Like other animal products, pork is rich in the B vitamins thiamin, niacin, riboflavin, and pyroxidine (B6). The B vitamins help the body convert food into energy, are essential for brain and nervous system health, help make and repair DNA, and produce hormones and red blood cells.

Allergies

Meat from any kind of mammal, including pork, can cause an allergic reaction (and some people who are allergic to mammalian meat also react to poultry). Scientists have traced some allergies to bites from the Lone Star tick, and others to an existing allergy to cats.

Meat allergies tend to develop in adolescence or adulthood. If you suspect a pork allergy, talk to your doctor about your diet and any treatments you might need.

Adverse Effects

When it is processed or cooked with salt, pork can be high in sodium. If you need to limit your sodium intake, you may have to avoid certain pork preparations.

In addition, eating a lot of well-done meat, including pork, can increase cancer risk. Cooking meat to well-done causes the formation of compounds, called heterocyclic amines, that are associated with several kinds of cancer.

Eating raw or undercooked pork is also dangerous. Pork can harbor parasites that cause serious infections in humans. Cooking pork thoroughly will kill these parasites.

Storage and Food Safety

Sealed fresh pork chops can stay refrigerated for two to four days. Ground pork will stay fresh for one to two days. You can also seal pork tightly using freezer wrap and freeze. Use frozen pork within six months.

Frozen pork should be thawed in the refrigerator (rather than at room temperature). A small roast will take 3 to 5 hours to thaw per pound, while a 1-inch thick chop will take 12 to 14 hours.

Pork should be cooked to an internal temperature between 145°F and 160°F. Measure the temperature at the thickest part of the meat without touching any bone.

How to Prepare

As an alternative to chicken or fish for lean protein, enjoy pork in tacos, salads, soups, and stir-fries. Adding variety to your diet keeps your meals interesting and provides your body with balanced nutrition.

Chicken, Sirloin or Porkchop- Which is Healthiest?

I received this question from my friend Amy who I used to work with in Pittsburgh:

“So if I had 6 oz of chicken breast (boneless), 6 oz of beef (sirloin), and a 6 oz pork chop (boneless), trimmed the fat off of each and cooked them all on the Foreman grill – which would be the healthiest, and which would be the least healthy?”

This is a great question and there are several things to consider, but let’s take a look at how they compare in calories and fat since all these choices are high in protein.

• 6 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast is 165 calories, with 3 grams of fat (0 g saturated fat)
• 6 ounces of boneless trimmed pork chop is around 200 calories, with a total of 3 grams of fat (1 g saturated fat)
• 6 ounces of the beef sirloin has around 270 calories, with a total of 16 grams of fat (6 g saturated fat)

The Short Answer

Out of the three, chicken is the healthiest, because it is a lean protein source that doesn’t contain saturated fat – the bad kind of fat that raises blood cholesterol. But the pork comes in at a fast second.

But keep in mind that the cut of the meat and trimming away excess fat and skin makes all the difference. New studies also show that eating a diet high in saturated fat causes the release of a stress hormone called “cortisol” which causes fat to be stored around the belly.

So What About The Beef?

I love beef, I won’t deny it and it’s a very good source of iron. However, see how the sirloin compares to the chicken and pork? It’s high in overall fat and high in the “bad kind” or saturated fat. Medical experts say to limit your saturated fat intake to 20 grams daily (or under 15 g if you have risk for heart disease).

So in this case, 6 grams might seem ok, but remember that packaged crackers and chips, cheese and other dairy (even the low fat kind), and other processed foods eaten in combination with that meat can put you well over the limit in just one meal.

What’s the solution? Eat a smaller piece of beef and enjoy it only on occasion. Or try to choose leaner cuts of beef.

The Goods: Separating myth from fact on pork – Entertainment – The Florida Times-Union

When most people think of lean meats, they think of chicken or turkey. However, there are lean cuts of other meats such as beef and pork that compare favorably. Catherine Christie, associate dean of the Brooks College of Health at the University of North Florida, discusses myths and facts about what cuts of pork carry the best nutritional value, why its nutritional profile might surprise you and how to safely cook and handle pork. 

Myth: All pork is high in fat and should be avoided.

Fact: Pork tenderloin compares similarly to skinless chicken breast in fat content. A 3-ounce cooked serving of pork tenderloin has 120 calories and 3 grams of total fat, 1 gram of saturated fat and 52 grams of cholesterol. A 3-ounce skinless chicken breast has 139 calories, 3 grams of total fat, 0.9 grams of saturated fat and 73 milligrams of cholesterol. If you are trying to lower calories and fat even more, fish is a good option. Three ounces of cod has a lower score with 89 calories, 0.7 grams of fat, 0.1 grams of saturated fat and 40 milligrams of cholesterol. Cuts of pork with the most healthful nutrition profiles include pork chops, pork loin roasts, Canadian bacon and pork tenderloin. Of course, that is before cooking with added fat or other ingredients that would change the profile.

Myth: Pork doesn’t contain significant amounts of vitamins or minerals.

Fact: Pork is considered an excellent source of the B vitamins thiamin, niacin, riboflavin and vitamin B-6, as well as protein and phosphorus, and is a good source of zinc and potassium. Pork also contains iron, and for women of child-bearing age, it is sometimes difficult to meet requirements.

Myth: Pork must be cooked at very high temperatures to be safe.

Fact: Because pork is leaner than it was 15 years ago – on average 16 percent lower in fat and 27 percent lower in saturated fat – it is easy to overcook. Most cuts need to be cooked to 145 degrees, followed by a 3-minute rest time. Ground pork, like other ground meat, needs to be cooked to 160 degrees. Using a simple meat thermometer is the best way to prevent over- or undercooked meat.

Myth: Pork is the only meat that may contain a parasite that causes trichinosis.

Fact: Trichinosis is a parasitic disease caused by humans or animals eating raw or undercooked pork, wild game or animals such as bears, wolves, seals, wild boars and rats. Because of current feeding standards and practices in pork production, trichinosis has become extremely rare in the United States. If the parasite were present in meat, it would be killed at cooking temperatures above 140 degrees. So, with the recommended cooking temperature for pork at 145 degrees, there is no risk of the parasite surviving.

Myth: Eating pork is relatively new, and it is one of the least eaten meats in the world.

Fact: Pork is one of the most widely consumed meats, accounting for about 38 percent of meat production worldwide, with Europe leading China in per capita consumption. The pig is one of the oldest forms of livestock, with reports that domestication occurred as early as 5,000 B.C. A type of ham from Italy, prosciutto, may be a new taste for some.

Table of cholesterol content in food

Cholesterol is a natural fatty (lipophilic) alcohol contained in the cell membranes of all animal organisms (except for non-nuclear organisms).Cholesterol is a valuable element of cell membranes, without it cells cannot exist, therefore there is a lot of cholesterol in the human body.

Good and bad cholesterol

There are two types of cholesterol – “good” and “bad”. LDL or low density lipoprotein is called “bad” cholesterol. High-density lipoprotein or HDL is called “good” cholesterol.

The calculation of the total finding of cholesterol in the blood is based on a blood test.If a lot of “bad” cholesterol is in the blood, it will slowly accumulate on the inner walls of the arteries. Along with other substances, so-called plaques will be created, narrowing the arteries and making them less flexible. This disease is called atherosclerosis.

Blocked arteries with plaque can cause a stroke or heart attack. On average, 25-33% of cholesterol is transported by HDL or “good” lipoproteins. The high HDL level protects against heart attacks. Low HDL levels (below 40 mg / dL) increase the risk of heart disease.

Table. Cholesterol content in products

Norms of content of cholesterol in blood:

Optimal blood cholesterol level: less than 5 mmol / L

Slightly high blood cholesterol: between 5 and 6.4 mmol / L

Moderately high blood cholesterol: between 6.5 and 7.8 mmol / L

Very high blood cholesterol: above 7.8 mmol / L

How much cholesterol is in food? Why is it important to know how many bacon and eggs you can eat per week?

The content of cholesterol in food affects the level of cholesterol in the blood. Today, the recommendation to control both has become a common place, since “bad” cholesterol fractions pose risks to the health of the heart and blood vessels. But how to reduce? How much cholesterol is recommended for a healthy person, are there such norms?

Yes, there are norms.The American Heart Association recommends that a person should not consume more than 300 mg of cholesterol per day to maximize their chances of a long life. Healthy menu makers in the US and Europe make sure to keep this figure in mind.

• To maintain health, it is recommended to consume no more than 300 mg of cholesterol per day!

Cholesterol in plant foods

See also: Cholesterol-lowering foods

Cholesterol can be found in animal products.Plants have no cholesterol. They contain its analogue sitosterol, which not only does not have a harmful atherogenic effect, but, on the contrary, normalizes lipid metabolism. Once in the intestine, plant sterols form complexes with cholesterol, which do not dissolve, but are excreted from the body.

Cholesterol in animal products

The modern view of cholesterol is controversial. On the one hand, it is he who is considered the main cause of atherosclerosis, and therefore cholesterol in food must be carefully calculated.On the other hand, there is a point of view that it is not so much cholesterol itself that is dangerous, but the nature of the fats with which it is supplied. We are talking, in particular, about saturated, “bad” fats. For example, beef cholesterol (which is solid saturated fat) is harmful, and fish cholesterol (high in unsaturated, low in saturated fat) is harmless.

Cholesterol in meat

Most of all cholesterol is found in the brain (800-2200 mg per 100 g) and kidneys (300-850 mg).

Further, the cholesterol content in meat goes down: beef liver, offal in general (including chicken giblets), pork, beef, horse meat, lamb, rabbit and poultry.

The safest meat belongs to dairy lambs. Less cholesterol in chickens and turkey is preferred over chicken.

Of the sausages, the most cholesterol is found in liverwort (150-200 mg), less in boiled doctor’s sausage (40 mg).

• You can eat often : Chickens and turkeys (light meat, skinless)
• Can be eaten occasionally: lean beef, tenderloin, fillet, lamb, pork or veal, chicken (dark meat, legs), meat sauces
• You can rarely eat : beef (fatty and coarse parts), ribs, lard, duck, hamburgers, sausages, offal, smoked meats.

Cholesterol in eggs

One egg (yolk) contains 213 mg of cholesterol. This is 71% of the recommended intake of cholesterol for an adult. Protein contains no cholesterol at all. By the way, quail eggs in this sense are no different from chicken eggs.

• Eat frequent: egg whites (2 per day), egg substitutes
• Can be eaten occasionally : Whole egg (maximum 3 per week, including in baked goods)
• Can be eaten rarely : eggnog, eggs Benedict

Cholesterol in fish and seafood

Some seafood such as shrimp and lobster are high in cholesterol.Four large shrimp, for example, has 43 mg of cholesterol. And 100 g of lobster (crayfish) – 72 mg of cholesterol.

As for fish, it should be assessed not so much by the content of cholesterol as by the composition of fats. The most valuable are fatty fish from cold seas – salmon, tuna, etc.

See also: Fish with coronary heart disease

• Eat frequently: cod, salmon, crab, haddock, halibut, flounder, sea bass, trout, scallop.
• You can eat sometimes : oysters, herring, lobsters, mackerel, canned tuna (in its own juice)
• Can be eaten rarely : caviar, breaded fish sticks, shrimp, squid, sardines in oil, tuna in oil

Cholesterol in butter and other dairy products

Be careful with cooking oils. One tablespoon of butter contains 31 mg of cholesterol.

One cup of whole milk equals 24 mg of cholesterol at once, and milk yogurt from whole milk equals 30 mg of cholesterol.Meanwhile, 100 grams of low-fat cottage cheese and yogurt contains 1 mg of cholesterol, and 1% kefir – 3.2 mg.

• You can eat often : skim milk, yogurt, kefir, cottage cheese, low-fat cheese.
• You can sometimes eat : dairy products with a low fat content (1-1.5%), Parmesan, Ricotta and Mozzarella cheeses (low fat).
• You can rarely eat : whole cow’s milk, condensed milk, goat’s milk, sour cream, cream, butter, cream cheese, Dor blue, Feta, Gouda, Gruyere.

90,000 Cholesterol and Heart Disease | Keys to Health

Elevated cholesterol levels in the blood are considered a major contributor to the development of heart disease.Some people consume large amounts of saturated fat every day and then wonder why they have a heart attack, stroke or some other vascular disease, and essentially “dig their own grave with a knife and fork”, supplying excess cholesterol into the bloodstream. To avoid such misfortunes, let’s take a closer look at their main culprit – CHOLESTEROL.

Cholesterol is a fatty substance. But this is not fat. Biochemically, cholesterol is more like wax. Cholesterol is required by our body for the formation of bile acids (75% of all cholesterol serves for this purpose).Hole means bile and sterol means fatty. Cholesterol is secreted by the liver into bile to enter the bloodstream, and it carries it throughout the body, to every cell, as it is necessary for cell membranes, sex hormones, and the formation of vitamin D.

Sources of cholesterol

Our liver and intestinal tract are “factories” for the production of cholesterol within the body. In addition, cholesterol comes to us with food.

The cholesterol we get from food is identical to the cholesterol in our body.But it does not have to be present in the diet, since the body independently produces cholesterol in sufficient quantities.

What food contains cholesterol?

Cholesterol is found only in animal products. The greatest amount of cholesterol is present in fat and meat (kidneys, liver, tongue, intestines), cheese, eggs, milk. Some seafood such as shrimp, crabs and crayfish also contain high cholesterol levels. Fish, chicken, and skinless turkeys also contain a certain amount of cholesterol, but these foods are lower in saturated fat, which leads to the formation of cholesterol.

Fruits, vegetables, grains, seeds, nuts, and vegetable oils are cholesterol-free.

Why should blood cholesterol be low?

Major authorities in the field of heart disease confirm the danger of high blood cholesterol. If the blood is overloaded with cholesterol, then the blood flow “suffocates” in sticky particles of cholesterol, which settle on the walls of the arteries and clog them. The US population has the highest rate in the world.Today, every second person there dies of a heart attack long before old age.

This table demonstrates the striking difference between the United States and Japan (unfortunately, we do not have data for Russia – approx.ed.). The latter uses very little saturated fat. And Americans love foods high in cholesterol (large steaks, pork chops, hams, as well as cheeses, ice cream, whipped cream, creams, butter, eggs, sour cream, candy, potato chips, etc.). This favorite food of Americans is dominated by saturated fats, and they contain a huge amount of cholesterol, moreover, “bad” cholesterol.

Not all cholesterol is created equally

You may have heard that there are “good” and “bad” cholesterol? What is the difference? Because of its fat-like nature, cholesterol cannot be transported by the blood on its own.Blood is mostly water, and fat and water do not mix well with each other. If you put cholesterol in the blood stream, it will clump together. To promote cholesterol in the bloodstream, our bodies use protein, as protein mixes well with water. It performs a transport role, carrying cholesterol and fat from food through the body. Where exactly? – Either into the blood vessels to harm them; or to the liver for processing and elimination from the body, thereby preventing the development of heart disease.This is why cholesterol is called “bad” and “good”.

Factors that lower the level of “bad” cholesterol in the blood:

1. Unsaturated fat.
2. Vegetarian diet (high in fiber, high in beta-carotene and vitamin E, which block the oxidation of cholesterol).
3. Soybeans and other legumes (rich in soluble fiber that binds cholesterol in the intestines).
4. Garlic.

Factors that increase the level of “bad” cholesterol in the blood:

one.Saturated Fat (1 egg yolk contains nearly 300 cholesterol units).
2. Coffee.
3. Overweight. Excess pounds provoke the liver and intestines to produce cholesterol. For every 400-500 grams of weight, they produce 10 mg of extra cholesterol daily.
4. Smoking. Smokers are 4 times more likely to develop early heart disease than non-smokers.

How to increase the level of “good” cholesterol?

So, not only do we need to lower the level of “bad” cholesterol in the blood, but we need more “good” cholesterol! And for this you need Exercises! Exercises!! Exercise !!! to make muscle cells work harder.If you want your cholesterol levels to drop, then choose those physical exercises that bring you pleasure. Don’t just do it out of duty.

At Loma Linda University, a group of medical students were offered exercises they liked. By the end of the week, there was a significant drop in cholesterol levels. Then the exercises were stopped. The cholesterol level in the blood returned to its original level. When the students were asked to exercise on the “treadmill”, they did not enjoy it at all, and their cholesterol levels did not drop! In some cases, it even went up.So, remember that what you don’t enjoy will negate all the benefits of exercise.

How quickly cholesterol levels can drop

If you switch to a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol and exercise regularly, then you can have a decrease in cholesterol levels in just a few weeks, even 40-50%.

For every percentage drop in cholesterol levels, the risk of heart attack and death falls by 2.5%.

Blood cholesterol can be measured

Ask your doctor to check your blood cholesterol level.
Ideally, it should not exceed 100–150 mg / dl (according to M. S. Brown and J. A. Goldstein, Nobel Prize winners for work in the study of cholesterol). It is this indicator that is equal to the level of cholesterol in a population who eats low-fat, high-fiber foods and almost does not suffer from cardiovascular diseases.
According to other sources, the average blood cholesterol level is 160 mg / dl.

At a cholesterol level of 500 mg / dL and above, myocardial infarction often occurs in adolescence and even childhood.
