Diet and Health

Yes, you should be watching your bad or LDL cholesterol for high cholesterol levels.  You should go and get your cholesterol level tested if you have not already done so.  Of course, you also want to manage your good HDL cholesterol levels.

 Managing your cholesterol is a combination of keeping your bad cholesterol low and keeping your good cholesterol high.  It is very important to do both.  You should not be on a low fat diet, that is a misconception.  You should not consume bad fats such as saturated or trans fats, but you should consume good fats, such as olive oil, avocados, nuts and seeds and flax oil.

If you know you have a problem with high bad LDL cholesterol you should also be exercising on a regular basis and eating healthy food such as steel cut oats.
