Intervention for Elevated Cholesterol

The American Heart Association has two levels of diets for individuals who need to lower their cholesterol level. Each one limits total fats, saturated fats and cholesterol in an effort to promote a better HDL/LDL ratio (or "good cholesterol" being higher than the "bad cholesterol"). In addition, exercise and being within a healthy weight range can also benefit your heart. The diet focuses on healthy low fat foods that allow you to enjoy your meals, but limit the highly saturated fats in your diet. Luckily, there are still plenty of delicious and nutritious foods to choose from while you learn new eating habits and perhaps even change the foods you prefer to ones that are healthiest for you. Click on available services if you are interested in a nutritional consultation and menus to assist you in following this diet.

Many clients are able to lower their cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL and raise their HDL without the use of prescription medication with a combination of weight loss when appropriate and changing their diet to a low fat, low saturated fat diet while maintaining their enjoyment of meals.
