Several studies have been conducted on cholesterol and diets. There are strong links between eating dairy products (cheese, cakes), meat, animal organs, egg yolks and elevated cholesterol levels in the human body. Likewise, these studies also found that cholesterol level is typically within normal range for folks who eat more fresh fruits and vegetables!

The recent movie “Super Size Me” has taught us that fast foods are typically high in saturated fats and opting deliberately for convenience meals is a sure way of inviting health challenges. So eating FRESH is the first step in managing cholesterol. Fruit, vegetables (sorry folks, french fries being excluded), and grains will help you maintain optimal health.
