Pathway to Healing Natural remedies for optimal health http://link.crosswalk.com/UM/T.asp?A1.43.28289.3.1698058 Smart Dietary Choices to Lower Your Cholesterol By Dr. Cherry If you think that simply restricting your intake of foods high in cholesterol will result in lower blood cholesterol levels, think again. Studies show that you also need to limit your consumption of foods high in saturated fats (found in animal products) and trans fats (found in stick margarines and some baked goods like doughnuts and cookies). These foods actually affect blood cholesterol levels to a greater degree, according to Dr. Roger Blumenthal, director of the Johns Hopkins Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Heart Disease. * * * * * * * * * * * * ADVERTISEMENT * * * * * * * * * * * Stop waking up sore and achy! Now there's a simple way to promote free, easy joint flexibility and avoid discomfort without drugs. Based on his 25 years medical practice and research, Dr. Cherry's Joint Support combines 8 herbs, plant extracts, and other nutrients recommended to patients.

In addition, intake of saturated fats and trans fats should not exceed 10 percent of total calories for healthy people and less than 7 percent for those with heart disease. Making the following dietary choices can help you achieve this: � Budget your fat and cholesterol intake. If you make healthy choices most of the time, you can still enjoy some of your favorite fatty foods on occasion. �At the end of the month you want to make sure you don�t exceed your expenses by managing your [total] fat and saturated fat budget,� says Wahida Karmally, director of nutrition at the Irving Center for Clinical Research at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center in New York. � Reduce your overall fat intake. One way to do so is by cutting back on fats in cooking and instead add flavor to your food by using herbs and spices. � If you eat meat, choose leaner cuts of meat over fatty ones and low-fat dairy products. � Limit eggs to one a day. According to Karmally, each whole egg has about 213 milligrams of cholesterol; so for many people, one egg a day is fine. However, you shouldn�t eat much of anything else with cholesterol that day. (Egg substitutes and egg whites are good alternatives.) � Butter vs. margarine. The AHA recommends using soft, tub-packaged or liquid margarine instead of butter, which is high in saturated fat and cholesterol, or solid margarine, which contains trans fats. Olive oil and canola oil are even better choices. They contain more healthful unsaturated fats. � To reduce your intake of trans fats, limit foods made from partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, which are often used in cakes, cookies, pies and crackers. � Get plenty of soluble fiber, which has been shown to help decrease bad LDL levels. Eat oat bran (in bread, cereal and oatmeal) along with naturally fibrous foods such as fruits, vegetables and legumes. ----- For more information on Dr. Cherry's ministry, visit his Web site: http://link.crosswalk.com/UM/T.asp?A1.43.28289.1.1698058 For Copyright Terms visit http://link.crosswalk.com/UM/T.asp?A1.43.28289.2.1698058 ____________________SUBSCRIPTION INFO_______________________ * This newsletter is never sent unsolicited.
