(Detroit.CityRegions.Com, September 21, 2015 ) Taylor, MI -- September is National Cholesterol Education Month, a good time to check blood cholesterol levels and take steps to lower it if necessary.
High cholesterol is a serious health concern because high cholesterol increases the risk of heart disease. The higher the cholesterol level, the greater the risk of heart disease. Lowering high cholesterol levels decreases the risk of developing heart disease and reduces the chance of having a heart attack.
Cholesterol is ONLY found in foods that come from animals such as eggs, dairy products, meat, poultry, fish and shellfish. To find out if a processed food contains cholesterol, read the Nutrition Facts food label. Cholesterol is listed with its amount in milligrams (mgs). Also, look at the Percent Daily Value (%DV) column to see whether the food is high or low in cholesterol. Five percent or less is considered low in cholesterol; 20 percent or more is considered high.
Tips to help eat less cholesterol: Eating fewer whole eggs. Cholesterol is in the egg yolk, not the white. Eating smaller servings of meat. A piece of meat the size of a deck of playing cards is a 3 ounce serving. Using skim, low-fat, no-fat, or non-fat dairy products. Using low fat cheese, low-fat yogurt and non-fat sour cream. Eating fruit popsicles or sherbet instead of ice cream.
