During Christmas eve, tables in every home was filled with delicious and sumptuous meal to be shared by every members of the family. But beware of eating foods high in cholesterol. Eating foods high in fats such as lechon, ham, fried foods which is always present in every occasion that could lead to heart attack, strokes and blood vessel problems. It is also best to avoid eating all these foods and don't forget also to avoid salty foods. There are also several factors that may contribute to high blood cholesterol. A diet that high in saturated fat, lack of exercise,(which I need one!)family history, overweight, age and sex and excessive drinking. It is important to eat plenty of fiber, especially soluble fiber, which is known to lower cholesterol. It is found in fruits, vegetables,beans and oats.
