How can health eating help improve your cholesterol level?

Changing Your Eating Habits
To lower your blood cholesterol through diet, eat fewer foods high in saturated fat, total fat, and cholesterol.
If you do not have a cholesterol problem that needs a doctor's attention, the recommended eating pattern is:


Less than 10 percent of the day's total calories from saturated fat
30 percent or less of the day's total calories from fat
Less than 300 milligrams of dietary cholesterol per day
If you have high blood cholesterol, your doctor will first prescribe a diet similar to the one above, but with special emphasis on limiting calories from saturated fat to 8-10 percent of the day's calories. If you follow this "Step I" eating pattern for about 3 months and your blood cholesterol does not drop enough, you may need to cut back still more on saturated fat and cholesterol and follow the "Step II" eating pattern. This calls for:

Less than 7 percent of the day's total calories from saturated fat
30 percent or less of the day's total calories from fat
Less than 200 milligrams of dietary cholesterol per day
If you have coronary heart disease, you should follow the Step II diet right from the start. It is a good idea to get help from a registered dietitian or other qualified nutritionist when starting the Step II diet.

Exercise... Drugs... Talk to your doctor...

Cholesterol is made by the body. It also comes from animal products you eat. Red/organ meats, butter, etc. Fish contain omega 3 & 6 fatty acids that have been proven to help.

Um, the less bad fats you eat, the lower your cholesterol. Also, if you eat foods with little cholesterol, that of course helps as well.

If you eat less fats that are saturated...your body will be healthier.Your arteries will not clog.YUK!!!
Exercise helps alot too, and don't smoke, or drink.... excessively! (Just in moderation)
