Good: Coconut increases your good triglycerides/cholesterol that are said to be protective for problems such as heart disease. All the best.

Question 2

is eating as many as 24 plus organic whole eggs every two weeks bad for me? will this raise my cholesterol?

Accepted Answer

May not: Cholesterol intake has a limited role in determining blood cholesterol levels and eating 1-2 eggs/day may not raise it. However, it would be a good idea to discuss the matter with your doctor and have a blood cholesterol test done. Saturated fats are more involved in raising cholesterol.

can eating egg white increase your ldl cholesterol?

Question 7

does eating an egg including egg yolk per day increases my cholesterol level and cause a higher chance of mi? as different researches points different

Accepted Answer

No: The yolk of an egg contains all the nutrients required  to make a chicken, even though it contains cholesterol. There are many opinions  and dr esselstyn (preventing and reversing cardiovascular disease with a plant based die) forbids eating "anything with a mother". My opinion is that an egg is an excellent  food.The old idea that cholesterol causes heart disease is out of date. Sugar is in !

Question 8

does eating too much chicken or too much protein raise cholesterol?

Accepted Answer

: Eating protein does not raise cholesterol. Typical dietary culprits are butter, cheese, eggs, whole milk, saturated fats and other high cholesterol foods. There may also be a genetic component where cholesterol is elevated regardless of dietary intake. Eat a diet based on lean proteins (chicken without skin, fish, etc), lots of fruits and vegetables, low salt, and whole grains.

Question 9

due to numerous bowel obstuctions, i was advised to alter my eating habits. will lack of fiberous foods raise my bad cholesterol?

Accepted Answer

Probably nothing: The public hoola about dietary fiber being the key to managing cholesterol sells breakfast cereal. Studies are widely divergent, and dietary fiber is anything but the key to health. A high-roughage diet might cost you your life. Watch you coronary risk factors otherwise, and don't focus on lab tests -- I'd urge you to focus on fitness and stop fretting about labwork.

Question 10

i have recently hired a well regarded fitness coach.  i have high cholesterol.   i am eating a high protein diet but i see that the cholesterol in these foods are high.   will being on a high protein diet raise my cholesterol in my blood?   thank you.
