If you are worried about high cholesterol, you might be interested in learning more about the low cholesterol lifestyle.
A low cholesterol lifestyle involves making conscious decisions to eat, play and live in a way that will help you lower your levels of harmful LDL cholesterol. It makes sense to lower your intake of fats. It is best to limit total fat intake to less than 30% of your daily calories.
All fats fall into different categories. Saturated fat is found primarily in foods from animals. It is best to limit it to less than 7% of your daily calories. The unsaturated fats are found in many fish, nuts, seeds and plant oils. They should make up about half of your daily fat intake. Trans-fatty acids and hydrogenated fats are found in animal products. They are also formed during the process of hydrogenation which is how margarine, shortening and cooking oils are made.
