Anti-cholesteric diet

While own level of cholesterol of blood is known to about 80% of Americans and Europeans, no more than 5% of our compatriots at least once measured this indicator in life. According to cardiologists, cholesteric risk factor of heart attacks and strokes plays one of key roles in high these diseases mortality rate. Observance of an anti-cholesteric diet promotes preservation of health, and sometimes, and lives of considerable number of patients.

Principles of an anti-cholesteric diet

Cholesterol is necessary for a human body. A set of hormones including sexual, use it as one of the main construction materials. About a half of the cholesterol demanded to us has an endogenous origin and is synthesized in the course of life activity. We are obliged to receive the second half of food.

The radical anti-cholesteric diet, that is complete elimination from a diet of any products containing cholesterol is harmful and dangerous. For example, women, it is long adhering to such power supply system, begin to have deficiency of a libido, lack of a menstrual cycle, early approach of a climax and other.

Adhering to a moderate anti-cholesteric diet, it is necessary to observe a certain balance. At low physical activity and, as a result, low intensity of a blood-groove, surplus in a diet of food stuffs with the high content of cholesterol can lead to sedimentation of this substance on walls of vessels, to growth of connecting fabric and formation of atherosclerotic plaques.

The gleam of a vessel is narrowed, and its elasticity decreases. The vascular wall becomes dense, and vessels – extremely brittle. It should be noted that this process proceeds rather slowly therefore, beginning already with children's age, you should not use many products – cholesterol sources. On reaching forty-year age the weighed anti-cholesteric diet designed to normalize a metabolism in an organism has to become a usual norm of food of the ordinary city dweller.

It is necessary to know that cholesterol by the nature is heterogeneous. It is accepted to distinguish several its fractions, namely, lipoproteids of high and low density. Lipoproteids of low density – so-called "bad" cholesterol – create vascular plaques whereas lipoproteids of high density – good cholesterol – bring "bad" cholesterol out of cells of a human body.

In the absence of any complaints, it is necessary to control cholesterol level once in five years, since twenty-year age. At identification of aberrations the doctor will appoint reception of medicines not at once. In most cases try to normalize cholesterol level in blood purpose of an anti-cholesteric diet.

Menu of an anti-cholesteric diet. Recipes

There are certain general principles of catering services within the menu of an anti-cholesteric diet. For example, chicken should be cooked without skin as to skin after preparation of a dish late – cholesterol already passed into fowl.

Alcohol intake also has significant effect on cholesterol level in blood. In terms of pure alcohol of 20 g of alcohol a day promote decrease in level of lipoproteids of low density whereas 100 g lead to increase in this indicator.

Such products as garlic, apples, grapefruits, cauliflower and bean bring "bad" cholesterol out of an organism. The eykozapentayenovy acid which in enough is contained in sea fish possesses also expressed anti-cholesteric action. Surprisingly, but anti-cholesteric action also the arachidonic acid found in lard possesses (certainly, the dose of the use of this product at the same time is minimum).

For normalization of level of cholesterol the anti-cholesteric diet minimizes the use of animal fats – mutton, pork, beef, and also butter, replacing them with the valuable vegetable, without fail not refined oils – olive, linen and other.

The polyunsaturated fatty acids which are contained in them promote disintegration of cholesterol to bile acids which, in turn, are removed together with bile due to cholagogue effect of the same oils. Also they strengthen an intestines peristaltics, deleting with that excesses of cholesterol with a fecal masses.

Under the influence of fatty acids of vegetable oils cholesterol forms soluble forms at the expense of what elasticity of blood vessels increases. Also they promote synthesis of sincaline and increase in its lipotropic action therefore viscosity of blood decreases.

Within an anti-cholesteric diet consumption of quickly acquired carbohydrates – sugar, high-grade flour dishes, etc. as in the course of digestion they easily turn into cholesterol is minimized. They are replaced with complex carbohydrates – grain, products from flour with bran. Also include a large number of the fruit and vegetables rich with indigestible rough fibers and pectins in a diet.

At the menu of an anti-cholesteric diet fully there has to be a protein which not less than 60% have to have on rich with irreplaceable amino acids (in particular methionine and sincaline) full-fledged animal protein. The considerable amount of sincaline contains in bean, grits, cottage cheese, a herring, spinach, and methionine – in a pike perch, a cod, buckwheat.

Within an anti-cholesteric diet it is necessary to exclude a liver, kidneys, an egg yolk, fat grades of fish and fish caviar, broths, a pickles and marinades from a diet, and also to minimize receipt in an organism of salts of calcium. For the rest inclusion of vitamin and mineral complexes is welcomed. Also it is recommended to include in a diet mushrooms, low-fat dairy products, ovalbumin and seafood except for placoderms.

The approximate menu of an anti-cholesteric diet can look as follows:

• The 1st breakfast – a steam omelet with mincemeat, porridge, tea with skim milk;
• The 2nd breakfast – vegetable salad;
• lunch – grain and vegetables soup on vegetable oil, the baked chicken breast with a vegetable garnish, wholegrain small loafs;
• afternoon snack – apple, dogrose broth;
• dinner – the baked fish, rice with vegetables, tea with skim milk;
• before going to bed – low-fat kefir.

Using the provided scheme and own imagination, it is not difficult to prepare a huge number of the dishes made according to recipes of an anti-cholesteric diet.
