Living in a society where fast paced living means fast paced eating as well, one has to sit and wonder "where does all this junk go"? The sad fact is that it all gets stored in your body, including the blood stream. High cholesterol can effect all of your body. There are many foods that you can eat to avoid high cholesterol.

Just getting off work? On your way to your folk's house to pick the kids up, you decide to stop by your local fast food joint to pick up a cheeseburger or tow and a large french fry. How often do you do that? One, two, three or four times a week? Well like a ticking time bomb the cholesterol is rapidly counting down on your health.

Foods with a lot of saturated fats should be avoided as much as posible. There needs to be balance in your diet. If you have no choice but to make these foods the primary source, you need to also eat high fiber foods and foods that are full of vitamin C, such as oranges and grapefruit.

Other types of foods to avoid are foods that you probably thought that were okay for you, but internally they are really unhealthy and full of cholesterol. Yes, eating red meats is good if done in moderation. However, if you continue to eat them and do it on a more then moderate basis, it can lead to high cholesterol. Pork is high in cholesterol. Many people love to fry meats in lard. That is extremely high in cholesterol.

There are other foods that you need to avoid that are high in cholesterol. Going to your local grocery store you may find all kinds of yummy looking snacks such as greasy potato chips or that big bucket of ice cream. Eating a lot of these will surely increase your cholesterol level and add some pounds.

Still skinny eating all of this? Well I have news for you, just because you are skinny and thin on the outside, doesn't mean that you are healthy on the inside.

And if you do have high levels, you should take steps now, while you can, to reduce theelevated cholesterol levels - your health depends on it.
