7 Day Meal Plan to Lower Cholesterol Levels & Lose Weight
Table Of Contents
/g>

Gone are the days when only older generations suffered from high cholesterol and cardiac diseases. Today's unhealthy lifestyle habits including lack of physical activity and poor eating habits have caused even younger generations to suffer from cholesterol related issues. Since having high cholesterol cannot be figured out until symptoms worsen, many people are unaware of their cholesterol levels. As per the 2008 research conducted by the world health organization, 39% of adults suffer from high cholesterol levels, causing 2.6 million deaths in a year around the globe.

Even though genetics play a role in having cholesterol issues, a lot of the credit goes to the poor lifestyle. Therefore, in this article, we have concluded everything you should know regarding good and bad cholesterol levels and a 7-day Low Cholesterol Diet Plan to live healthy and happy.

Before giving you the diet plan, you must understand this disease and how cholesterol levels rise. Then we'll tell you the foods you can incorporate into your diet to control these rising levels, with a fully planned 7-day diet plan to help you control your cholesterol so your heart can keep pumping blood to your organs effectively and efficiently.

What Is Cholesterol?

What is Cholesterol?

Cholesterol is a wax-like fatty substance produced in the liver and is found in our blood and body cells. Cholesterol is not just produced by our bodies but is found in various food items as well that are taken from animals, such as egg yolks, meat, and whole-milk dairy products. Even though it is essential for our good health, too much cholesterol can be dangerous.

How Do Cholesterol Levels Rise?

Further in the discussion of cholesterol, it is important to understand the good and bad cholesterol and how they rise to a dangerous level in our bodies, leading to heart attacks and various cardiovascular diseases.

One-third of cholesterol found in the body is produced inside the liver, and the rest is consumed through our diets. When we consume food, or the liver produces cholesterol, which is then carried in our blood by proteins called lipoproteins.

The two types of lipoproteins that make up total cholesterol in our body are; low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and high-density lipoproteins (HDL), also known as the bad and good cholesterol.

Types of Chlesterol

Low-density lipoproteins make up most of the cholesterol found in our bodies. In layman's terms, LDL is called bad cholesterol because high levels of LDL lead to high chances of strokes and heart diseases.

High-density lipoprotein represents a relatively minor part of the cholesterol in the body and is known as good cholesterol. This is because HDL absorbs the cholesterol and sends it back to the liver, which is then flushed out of the system, ultimately lowering the chances of cardiovascular diseases.

An excess of bad cholesterol or LDL in our body starts to build upon the walls of the blood vessels. This build-up, also known as plaque, reduces blood flow to the heart and other organs, leading to angina or heart attacks, etc.

Healthy Foods to Reduce Cholesterol Levels

Now that you understand the difference between good and bad cholesterols and how they can affect your health, here is a list of foods that you can incorporate into your diet to control your cholesterol levels effectively. You can also shed the extra calories and lose fat using the Dmoose Fat Burner which suppresses your appetite and enhances your metabolism.

1. Beans and Lentils

1. Beans and Lentils

Beans and lentils are rich in soluble fiber and are free of cholesterol. Since beans and lentils are plant-based proteins, they help reduce the body's bad cholesterol or low-density lipoprotein.

For example, red, yellow, green, and brown lentils, chickpeas, kidney beans, runner beans, etc.

2. Food Rich in Healthy Fats

2. Foods Rich in Healthy Fats

Just like good and bad cholesterol, fats are also classified as good and bad based on different kinds of fat. Food with mono-unsaturated and poly-unsaturated fats is good for the heart as they help increase high-density lipoproteins. For example, avocado, nuts, seeds, olives, salmon, sardines, vegetable oils, spreads, etc.

3. Oats and Barley

3. Oats and Barley

Instead of consuming processed food, add more whole-grain foods wherever possible. Whole-grain foods contain a good amount of soluble fiber called beta-glucan, which helps lower bad cholesterol levels. For example, Oats, barley, brown rice, whole wheat bread, etc., are the best whole-grain foods that you can easily add to your diet to lower the low-density lipoproteins in your body.

4. Fruits and Vegetables

4. Fruits and Vegetables

Colorful fruits and vegetables contain substantial amounts of soluble fiber in their skin, which helps protect you against any cardiovascular diseases, lowering cholesterol consumption and reducing LDL levels. For example: consuming carrots and potatoes with their peels, adding orange and lemon peels in salads, etc.

To enhance your dietary changes, consider taking Dmoose multivitamins as a supplement. It can help maintain your vitamin levels and offers additional advantages, making it an excellent complement to your lifestyle.

5. Nuts

5. Nuts

Unsalted and unroasted nuts that are close to their naturally ripe stage are the ones that contain fats and soluble fibers. Those nuts specifically found with skin are great for the heart as they're linked to lowering harmful cholesterol levels and triglycerides.

For example, pistachios, almonds, pecan nuts, cashews, hazelnuts, etc.
