Book description
In the UK, 7 out of 10 people over the age of 45 have high cholesterol
levels (Bupa 2007). Although there are no clear symptoms, high
cholesterol levels have been associated with heart disease and stroke -
two of Britain's biggest killers. There are several factors that can
cause high cholesterol; an unhealthy diet, being overweight and a lack
of exercise are three of the main contenders. As a result, some of the
best ways to control and reduce cholesterol levels are losing weight,
eating a heart-healthy diet and taking regular exercise.
Although eating healthily may sound simple, it's often difficult to
know which foods to avoid when trying to lower
cholesterol.
Fully adapted for the UK market, Low-Cholesterol
Cookbook For Dummies reveals which food you should eat and helps
readers make small changes to their diet to achieve big results.
Low-Cholesterol Cookbook For Dummies includes:
- The latest dietary and medical information on cholesterol and
how to control it
- Over 90 delicious recipes as well as low fat cooking techniques
and ways to lower cholesterol on a daily basis
- Sensible advice on finding the right foods when shopping,
planning menus, and adapting recipes to suit family and
friends.
