How’s your cholesterol? Last month, I have my APE and you know what? the result my cholesterol is high. So I become worried because I’m worried if its bad cholesterol or not. Here are some tips to lower levels of bad cholesterol in the blood.
For me, since we are talking about cholesterol or fats:
1. Avoid trans fats. Old theory says the way to reduce cholesterol is to stop eating eggs and other high cholesterol foods. However, now increasingly clear that the main culprit is saturated fat.
According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), in 1994 the average American ate 586 pounds of milk and dairy products, 394 pounds of vegetables, 121 pounds of fresh fruit, 199 pounds of meat and 193 pounds of products containing flour and cereal. That totals to over four pounds of food per day per person and nearly forty percent of that is milk and dairy, one very lopsided food pyramid!
Each sip of milk provides you with: - Pituitary hormones (PRL, GH, TSH, FSH, LH ACTH Oxytocin)
- Steroid hormones (Estradiol, Estriol, Progesterone, Testosterone,
- 17-Ketosteroids, Corticosterone, Vitamine D) Hypothalamic hormones (TRH, LHRH, Somatostatin, PRL-inhibiting factor, PRL-releasing factor, GnRH, GRH)
- Thyroid and Parathyroid hormones (T3, T4, rT3, Calcitonin,
- Parathormone, PTH peptide) gastrointestinal peptides (Vasoactive intestinal peptide, Bombesin,
- Cholecystokinin, Gastrin, Gastrin inhibitory peptide, Pancreatic peptide, Y peptide, Substance P and Neurotensin)
- Growth Factors (IGF’s (I and II), IGF binding proteins, Nerve growth factor, Epidermal growth factor and TGF alpha, TGF beta, Growth
- Inhibitors MDGI and MAF, and Platelet derived growth factor Others… (PGE, PGF2 alpha, cAMP, cGMP, Delta sleep inducing peptide, Transferrin, Lactoferrin, Casomorphin and Erythropoietin
