Eating Tasty Foods - Low Cholesterol Diet Food

For most people, eating foods low in cholesterol to maintain their normal cholesterol level is a daunting task. Primarily, because they simply don't know what kind of food they need to eat to lower their cholesterol level. There are a lot of food types available, and contrary to what most think, they are still very tasty and could still offer the taste bud tingles that other, unhealthy food could offer.
The first kind of foods low in cholesterol is fish. Fish contains high amounts of Omega-3 fatty acids. These fatty acids lower the risk of heart disease and lower blood pressure, reducing the bad effects of cholesterol, and of course, lower cholesterol levels.

Certain kinds of Omega-3 fatty acids such as Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) can only be found in the fat of seafood such as salmon, albacore, tuna, herring, trout, and mackerel.

Fish is certainly a tasty food if cooked right, and recipe books can attest to how good fish dishes can taste. And in addition, fish does not only do wonders for your cholesterol levels, but it also helps in maintaining good eyesight and the health of your nervous system.

Similar to fish, nuts also contain significant amounts of Omega-3. Specifically, nuts like almonds and walnuts help lower cholesterol. Not only do nuts lower the bad cholesterol, they also provide good cholesterol for your body, helping it function even more efficiently and keeping your health at its optimum. Plus, nuts are very delicious, and you can eat them practically anywhere out of the small packs they usually come in.

It may be debatable whether lean red meat is a low cholesterol food. Most people say that red meat is very unhealthy because it is high in both fat and cholesterol. That is true, actually - but if you take away the fat of the red meat, then what you have left is a healthy, low cholesterol meat that would help you in your diet. Lean red meat is low in saturated fat and at the same time is an excellent source of other vitamins and nutrients such as Vitamin B12, protein, zinc, and iron. Lean red meat is often used for gourmet recipes, as it retains the meaty flavor while being very healthy.

Of course, you can never leave out fruits and vegetables. They are always high in vitamins and nutrients, but some go as far as lowering your cholesterol. Fruits such as apricots, apples, and oranges and vegetables such as sweet potatoes and cabbages contain high amounts of soluble fiber and pectin. Both of these have been proven to maintain cholesterol at a low level. Fruits and vegetables, particularly those mentioned, are well loved and can be eaten by themselves or mixed as parts of bigger dishes.

Cholesterol free foods, low cholesterol foods-both of them can be very delicious and do not have to be all tasteless if prepared by skilful cooks. The foods mentioned are all intricate parts of gourmet dishes, and can be cooked to rival or even surpass the exquisite taste you get from unhealthy food. It won't be much of a sacrifice to eat this food, if it would mean keeping your body healthy.
