{"product_id":"9781410109033","title":"Eating to Lower Your High Blood Choleste","description":"High blood cholesterol is a serious problem. Along with high blood pressure and cigarette smoking, it is one of the three major modifiable risk factors for coronary heart disease. Approximately 25 percent of the adult population 20 years of age and older has \"high\" blood cholesterol levels-levels that are high enough to need intensive medical attention. More than half of all adult Americans have a blood cholesterol level that is higher than \"desirable.\"\u003cbr\u003e Because high blood cholesterol is a risk to your health, you need to take steps to lower your blood cholesterol level. The best way to do this is to make sure you eat foods that are low in saturated fat and cholesterol. The purpose of this book is to help you learn how to choose these foods. This book will also introduce you to key concepts about blood cholesterol and its relationship to your diet. For example, it includes basic (but very important) information about saturated fat-the dietary component most responsible for raising blood cholesterol-and about dietary cholesterol-the cholesterol contained in food.\u003cbr\u003e This book is divided into three parts. The first part of the book gives background information about high blood cholesterol and its relationship to heart disease. The second part introduces key points on diet changes and better food choices to lower blood cholesterol levels.\u003cbr\u003e Finally, in the third part more specific instructions are given for modifying eating patterns to lower your blood cholesterol, choosing low-saturated fat and low-cholesterol foods, and preparing low-fat dishes.\u003cbr\u003e The \"glossary\" provides easy definitions of new or unfamiliar terms. The \"appendices\" that follow the glossary list the saturated fat and cholesterol content of a variety of foods.\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEating to Lower Your High Blood Cholesterol\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat You Need to Know About High Blood Cholesterol\u003cbr\u003eWhy Should You Know Your Blood Cholesterol Level?\u003cbr\u003eHow High Is Your Blood Cholesterol Level?\u003cbr\u003eWhat Should Your Blood Cholesterol Goal Be?\u003cbr\u003eHow Does Your Blood Cholesterol Become High?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Recommended Treatment: A Blood Cholesterol-Lowering Diet\u003cbr\u003eWhat Changes Should You Make in Your Diet?\u003cbr\u003eEat Less High-Fat Food\u003cbr\u003eEat Less Saturated Fat\u003cbr\u003eSubstitute Unsaturated Fat for Saturated Fat\u003cbr\u003eEat Less High-Cholesterol Food\u003cbr\u003eSubstitute Complex Carbohydrates for Saturated Fat\u003cbr\u003eMaintain a Desirable Weight\u003cbr\u003eHow Should You Change Your Daily Menu?\u003cbr\u003eWhat Kind of Success Can You Expect?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow to Change Your Eating Patterns\u003cbr\u003eShop for Foods That Are Low in Saturated Fat and Cholesterol\u003cbr\u003eRead the Labels\u003cbr\u003eLow-Fat Cooking Tips\u003cbr\u003eWhere Can You Go For Help?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGlossary\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Press Holdings International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50017458585840,"sku":"9781410109033","price":22.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781410109033","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
