Good unsaturated fats
Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats ? lower disease risk. Foods high in good fats include vegetable oils (such as olive, canola, sunflower, soy, and corn), nuts, seeds, and fish.
satya - 6/16/2017, 8:33:52 PM
A key point raised
When it comes to dietary fat, what matters most is the type of fat you eat. Contrary to past dietary advice promoting low-fat diets, newer research shows that healthy fats are necessary and beneficial for health.
satya - 6/16/2017, 8:34:18 PM
Bad fats ? trans fats
increase disease risk, even when eaten in small quantities. Foods containing trans fats are primarily in processed foods made with trans fat from partially hydrogenated oil. Fortunately, trans fats have been eliminated from many of these foods.
satya - 6/16/2017, 8:34:38 PM
Saturated fats
Saturated fats, while not as harmful as trans fats, by comparison with unsaturated fats negatively impact health and are best consumed in moderation. Foods containing large amounts of saturated fat include red meat, butter, cheese, and ice cream.
satya - 6/16/2017, 8:35:28 PM
A thought: When you cut back on foods like red meat
When you cut back on foods like red meat and butter, replace them with fish, beans, nuts, and healthy oils instead of refined carbohydrates.

Verify this claim
Lowered intake of saturated fat and replaced it with polyunsaturated vegetable oil reduced cardio disease by nearly 30% similar to cholesterol lowering statins.

Do you need fats?
It helps you absorb some vitamins and minerals. Fat is needed to build cell membranes, the vital exterior of each cell, and the sheaths surrounding nerves. It is essential for blood clotting, muscle movement, and inflammation.

Eating polyunsaturated fats in place of saturated fats or highly refined carbohydrates reduces harmful LDL cholesterol and improves the cholesterol profile. It also lowers triglycerides.
Omega-3 fatty acids may help prevent and even treat heart disease and stroke. In addition to reducing blood pressure, raising HDL, and lowering triglycerides, polyunsaturated fats may help prevent lethal heart rhythms from arising.
Evidence also suggests they may help reduce the need for corticosteroid medications in people with rheumatoid arthritis.

Another 8% opinion
You don?t have to lose a lot of weight to lower your cholesterol. If you?re overweight, drop just 10 pounds and you?ll cut your LDL by up to 8%.

Really?
Exercise 2 1/2 hours a week is enough to raise HDL and improve LDL and triglycerides,

Soluble fiber
Foods like oatmeal, apples, prunes, and beans are high in soluble fiber, which keeps your body from absorbing cholesterol. Research shows that people who ate 5 to 10 more grams of it each day saw a drop in their LDL.
