Most people can lower elevated
levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL and raise their HDL without
the use of prescription medication. It’s all about choice
and lifestyle changes that will positively affect your health and
well-being. As a registered dietitian, I can help teach you to make
the right food choices and ultimately live a healthier, longer life.
The American Heart Association
recommends diets that contain healthy, low fat foods with limited
total fats, saturated fats, and cholesterol. The recommended AHA
diet helps lower cholesterol in an effort to promote a better HDL/LDL
ratio (or “good cholesterol” being higher than the “bad
cholesterol”). In addition, exercise and being within a healthy
weight range are key to good heart health.
I will work to incorporate your favorite flavors in your new diet.
It’s all about moderation and modification! We will work together
to create a diet low in saturated fat and trans fats and high in
mono and omega 3 fats to reduce inflammation that contributes to
fatty deposits that clog your coronary arteries and lead to heart
disease and possibly a heart attack.
