Suffering from elevated Cholesterol.... add some probiotic rich foods!

2/20/2017

 
​     For those of you with high cholesterol levels, the LDL partical count is the most important number you want to know about yourself.  High LDL  partical counts can be the most important factor in determining heart health and heart disease prevention.  Unfortunately, not all providers have received the most recent education on testing or how to decrease LDL-particle counts.  Below is the new standard that is being discussed in medical school today and important knowledge to know about sooner than later.
  • Dietary Recommendations
    • Low-carbohydrate Paleo diet and intermittent fasting (if patient has high LDL-P due to insulin resistance).
    • Mediterranean Paleo diet (if patient has high LDL-P due to genetic causes).
    • Cold-water fatty fish and shellfish.
    • Monounsaturated fat.
    • Antioxidant-rich foods.
    • Polyphenol-rich foods.
    • Eat fermented foods (sauerkraut, kimchi, yogurt, kvass) to support gut microbiota.
    • Eat soluble fiber from a wide range of fruits and vegetables, especially sweet potatoes and yams.
    • Use resistant starch to feed gut flora and improve insulin sensitivity.
