This number does not give much information. That is why it is important to find out what numbers 2 and 3 are. 2) LDL (low density lipoprotein) – Think “L” for lousy, this is the BAD cholesterol.” High amounts can cause plaque build up and eventually block your vessels. 3) HDL (High density lipoprotein) – Think “H” for healthy, this is the GOOD cholesterol. High amounts are good because HDL acts as a garbage truck and gets rid of the BAD cholesterol from the body. 4) Triglycerides – These are little fats that float around in your blood. When triglycerides are high they can stick to blockages made in your heart by LDL cholesterol. What Changes Our Cholesterol? Cholesterol Type LDL Cholesterol Triglycerides HDL Cholesterol Improves by following: A diet that is……. low in saturated fat (see next page for explanation) in soluble fibre (see fibre section for explanation) A diet that is….... in refined carbohydrates in alcohol in cold water fish Omega 3 fatty acids specifically DHA and EPA (1 gm/day) Weight loss Exercise/weight loss Smoking Cessation Worsens by following: A diet that is……. in saturated fat A diet that is……. in sugar in alcohol A diet that is…… in trans fats ©COPYRIGHT 2001, 2006, 2007, 2008 PRODUCED BY THE DIETITIANS AT TRILLIUM HEALTH CENTRE, MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO Did You Know …….. Eating a heart healthy diet is not only about lowering your total fat intake, but also about choosing the right kinds of fats. So make the switch from saturated fats to unsaturated fats to help improve your blood cholesterol! What should I do Choose unsaturated fats more often Limit Type of Fat What do they do? Where are they found? Polyunsaturates Will lower blood cholesterol levels Monounsaturates Will lower blood cholesterol levels Saturates Raise blood cholesterol levels TRANS FATS*** Raise blood cholesterol levels & decrease HDL Are found mainly in soft fats such as vegetable oils and foods that contain these oils like soft-tub margarines. Fish, flax seeds, sesame seeds, safflower, sunflower, corn, and soybean oils are all high in polyunsaturates. Are found mostly in avocados, some nuts and soft fats including olive oil and canola oil, and foods that contain these oils like soft tub non-hydrogenated margarines. Are found mostly in palm kernel oil and firm fats that come from animal food sources such as meat, lard, butter, milk, yogurt, and cheese. Are found mainly in many processed foods that contain shortening or partially hydrogenated fats like some but not all margarines, cookies, crackers, French fries, potato chips, donuts, and commercial baked goods. Is found only in animal food sources such as meat, eggs butter, yogurt and cheese. (HYDROGENATED) Cholesterol Dietary cholesterol increases blood cholesterol but not as much as saturated fats do ©COPYRIGHT 2001, 2006, 2007, 2008 PRODUCED BY THE DIETITIANS AT TRILLIUM HEALTH CENTRE, MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO 5 Added Fats & Oils: 1-2 tbsp per day Healthy Choices Foods to Enjoy in Moderation (once a month) Vegetable oils – canola, olive, peanut, safflower, sunflower, corn, soybean Non-hydrogenated margarines Salad dressings – Make your own with oil/vinegar/lemon juice/spices Light mayonnaise or miracle whip Palm kernel oils Animal or vegetable shortening Butter Hydrogenated and partiallyhydrogenated margarines Salad dressings made with cheese, cream or regular sour cream Coffee creamer, ½ & ½ cream, coffee mate, coffee rich Whipping cream Regular mayonnaise Milk Products Healthy Choices Foods to Enjoy in Moderation (once a month) Homo milk or 2% milk Skim or 1% milk Condensed milk Skim milk powder Cheeses with more than 20% M.F Buttermilk 4% Cottage cheese Evaporated skim or 1% milk Calcium enriched Skim or 1% soy milk Yogurt with more than 2% M.F.
