During the physical examination, when we see our cholesterol indicators, if the total cholesterol is between 2.86 and 5.98 millimoles per liter, it means our cholesterol index is still considered normal. If it exceeds this range, we need to pay attention to controlling our cholesterol indicators, especially the “bad cholesterol” – low-density lipoprotein is crucial. Lowering these bad cholesterol levels helps restore our cholesterol indicators to normal and reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.
However, we shouldn’t simply reduce cholesterol because appropriate cholesterol can help regulate hormone secretion in our bodies. But once it exceeds, it can bring cardiovascular risks. So, how can we help reduce our cholesterol levels? In fact, controlling cholesterol is quite simple, mainly through food control. Eat less high-fat foods and include more cholesterol “repairmen” in your daily diet to help lower bad cholesterol levels. What are these three types of foods? Let’s take a look together.
These 3 types of foods are the “repairmen” of cholesterol. Pay attention to eating more of them normally.
Carrots, as a nutrient-rich vegetable, are very popular. Carrots have a high variety and content of vitamins, making them the “ace repairmen” for our bodies. Carrots not only help our bodies with metabolism but also help “eliminate” these bad cholesterol, controlling the cholesterol to prevent it from exceeding the limit in our bodies. Therefore, it is recommended to consume more carrots in daily life, whether raw or cooked, as they are both delicious choices.
Kiwifruit, known as the beloved fruit, also called kiwi, has a strange appearance compared to the fruits we usually eat. Kiwi is not only delicious but also rich in nutrients, helping us replenish our vitamins and providing some components that aid in antioxidation, delaying aging and benefiting blood vessels. Kiwi can also help reduce the accumulation of lipid substances in the blood vessels, lowering the risk of vascular blockage. It is worth eating more of it regularly for cholesterol control and prolonging lifespan. It is suggested to consume it more often.
Leeks are relatively less consumed in our daily lives, even in the common dish of leeks with scrambled eggs. In fact, leeks are also known as “longevity leeks” because they contain allicin, which helps lower blood lipids in our bodies, allowing cholesterol levels to return to normal. This is very beneficial for our cardiovascular health. Therefore, it is recommended to add some leeks to your dining table regularly. Moreover, regularly consuming leeks can help delay aging, promote antioxidation, and restore the health of the body.
In addition to dietary adjustments in daily life,
