Two thirds of Americans are overweight. Research has shown that losing as little as 5 to 10 percent of your body weight can lead to better blood pressure, lower risk for diabetes, and improved cholesterol levels.

Cut back on “bad” fats. Small changes such as replacing fried chicken wings with grilled chicken strips and low fat dipping sauces can limit your LDL (bad cholesterol). See the importance of limiting your bad cholesterol here. A few other small tips that can be a big help include replacing butter with olive and canola oil (filled with good cholesterol), lean meats, poultry, fish, and beans instead of higher fat meats. Pick non/low fat milk and yogurt and eat full fat cheese sparingly. Avoid trans-fat and saturated fat which increases LDL and make sure to avoid foods with hydrogenated oils in their ingredients. Look out for this in snacks, crackers, baked goods, and margarine.
A high fiber diet will lower the risk of heart disease; unfortunately, the average American diet only includes around 14 grams of fiber a day. You can lower LDL by eating foods such as oats, beans, and citrus fruits. For meals try to pick whole grains like brown rice and whole wheat pasta which boosts your total fiber intake and improves digestion while lowering triglycerides, another unhealthy fat in blood.
Research suggests that eating fish, high in omega-3 fats, can reduce heart disease by 30%. Fish lowers triglycerides and blood pressures and helps prevent irregular heart rhythm. Are you having trouble fitting fish in your diet? Try a supplement! Liquid Energysuggests BIOMEGA 3. Here is a video about the creator of BIOMEGA 3 discussing its benefits compared to the leading fish oil pills. In a 2009 study in sports help, the Pittsburg Steelers vastly improved their cholesterol profiles by taking a daily fish oil supplement.
In 2009, the Journal of American Medical Association credited NFL player’s high level of physical activity with helping to reduce heart risks associated with being overweight. You don’t need to be a professional athlete; you just need to do moderate exercises such as brisk walking to help keep your heart healthy.
