To lower blood cholesterol levels, it is recommended to eat fish more often. A simple example of the benefits of eating seafood comes from the Eskimos.
In them, heart attack and sudden cardiac death are absolutely rare. However, Eskimos include at least 200 grams of fish a day in their daily diet.
If we have to delve into the useful nutrients from such a intake of fish daily, the amount corresponds to 20 g of fish oil or 2 g of unsaturated fatty acids.
Low mortality from cardiovascular disease has also been reported in the Mediterranean and the Far East. There they emphasize fruits, vegetables, fish and vegetable fats when they sit at the table.
And because fish oil tastes bad, scientists are looking for other products high in unsaturated fatty acids.
They lower total cholesterol and increase the "good cholesterol" that protects blood vessels. These are all legumes, cereals, soybeans, nuts and fruits.
There is no way to ignore the beneficial effect of garlic, because it contains diallyl sulfide. Yogurt is another complete food that works well because of the products of fermentation: orotic acid, lactose and others.
Poultry meat contains only 6% fat and a lot of protein, magnesium and iron. It is great for maintaining the line and that is why nutritionists recommend it the most.
At the other pole (of useless foods) are animal fats. According to a study in the United States, people get 30-37% of their daily calories from them, which is too much. These saturated fats should not provide more than 20% of calories or more than 20 grams of fat in 24 hours.
Fried, canned and salted foods put too much strain on the body. With age, our digestive system begins to function more slowly and the need for such products decreases completely.
Over the years, for example, the need for protein decreases, and saturated fats and sugars become a real enemy of a healthy body.
