2.  Cholesterol is a fatty substance found in the blood stream. It is used in
the development of cells for hormones. It is not all bad. Our bodies need
cholesterol to function properly. When there is a large amount of
saturated fat in our bodies the liver will turn this fat into cholesterol.
This built-up of plaque in our bodies is dangerous. By consuming as much
foods for good cholesterol as we can we will be able to eliminate or
prevent excessive amounts of saturated fats in our bodies. Cholesterol is
of two types H.D.L (good cholesterol). L.D.L (bad cholesterol).
Cholesterol does not dissolve in the blood stream. 75% of the cholesterol
in our bodies is produced by the liver. The remaining 25% is taken from
the food we eat. It is important that we watch our diet particularly as we
grow older. If there is too high a percentage of bad cholesterol we get a
build -up of plaque and hardening in our arteries. This can lead to heart
attack, stroke, hypertension and even diabetes.
 H.D.L does this
1) Gets rid of L.D.L from the arteries
2) Keeps the cell walls free from blockage
3) Helps to produce vitamin
4) Takes the L.D.L from the cells to the liver where they are reduced

3. Choose chicken, turkey or fish rather than red meat such
as beef, lamb or pork. Eat meat in moderation. When
choosing red meat pick cuts with a small amount of fat.
Baste meat with orange juice or lemon juice instead of fat
droppings. Remove skin from poultry or turkey before
serving
Where possible substitute vinegar or lime juice for rich
salad dressing.
Frying elevates the cholesterol. Opt to grill, steam or bake
whenever possible. When baking use applesauce instead of
butter, oil, margarine or shortening.
Limit the intake of alcohol. Enjoy a toast with an alcohol-
free drink or minimum alcohol.
