If you want to Lower your total cholesterol, all you have to do is follow the old-time, natural-food diets and get some regular exercise. Unfortunately, that is not as easy as it seems. Today in our fast-paced world, people are more inclined to grab a lunch at the fast food restaurant and gobble it down. Fast food once or twice a week is probably okay, but more frequent than that, it becomes very hazarodous to you heart health.
What I’d like to talk about is the word ‘gobble’ as I used it above. A heart-friendly diet should not leave one so hungry during the day that he or she has to ‘gobble’ up their food. I snack during the day – I am nibbling at something a good bit of the time. I love nuts – I probably eat too many of them. And I love oranges, apples, canned pineapple – fresh pineapple when I come across it is really a treat! I don’t allow myself to feel hunger.
If you sit at a desk all day, it is easy enough to buy some canned nuts and grab a handful now and then. They can be high in calories - I never really count – I know I eat less than 2,000 calories a day even with all the nuts I eat. I usually think that eating too many nuts is much better for me than eating too many donuts or coffee cake.
Getting back to ‘gobbling’ – strive to not let yourself get famished during the day. Nuts, raisins, a piece of fruit can all keep you from getting hungry and help your cholesterol and your heart as well.
