What can you do to keep your cholesterol under 200? Keep these tips in mind for nutrition options for your overall health:
· Add more vegetables and fruits to your diet. Add at least 2 veggies and 1 fruit to each meal and you’ll fill up faster.
· Monitor your meat consumption and learn your portion sizes. A serving size of meat or fish should fit in the palm of your hand or the size of a deck of cards.
· Add Omega-3 fatty acids by adding Salmon, Tuna, and other fatty fish to your food regimen.
· Add more whole grains and less bleached, white flour. You’ll feel fuller longer, and add a little extra fiber at the same time.
· Eat throughout the day, and make a 2oz portion size of nuts one of your snack options to lower your risk of heart disease
· Don’t let restaurants be a downfall- look for grilled, broiled, no butter, no oil and all dressings on the side.
· Keep moving! At least 30 minutes a day- Even if you don’t have time to hit the gym, I recommend taking a walk after dinner. Take advantage of the long summer evenings.
