What are the foods high in fat and cholesterol?
Disease description:
There are quite a few people around me with high cholesterol, such as my mother-in-law. Since we live together and share meals, I try to avoid foods that are high in fat and cholesterol as much as possible. Doctor, what kinds of foods are high in fat and cholesterol?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Liu Feng
High-fat and high-cholesterol foods mainly include the following categories:
1. Red meat: such as beef, pork, and lamb, especially the fatty portions, which contain high levels of saturated fat and cholesterol.
2. Full-fat dairy products: including whole milk, cream, butter, cheese, and similar items, which are high in both fat and cholesterol.
3. Eggs: particularly the yolks, which are a major source of cholesterol. One large egg yolk contains approximately 200 milligrams of cholesterol.
4. Processed meats: such as sausages, bacon, and hot dogs, which are high in fat and cholesterol, and may also contain high levels of salt and additives.
5. Fried foods: such as fried chicken and French fries, which absorb large amounts of oil during cooking, increasing intake of saturated and trans fats.
6. Baked goods: such as cream, butter, creamy desserts, cakes, and chocolate.
7. Shellfish and crustaceans among seafood: although most fish and seafood are healthy choices, shellfish and crab species contain relatively high levels of cholesterol.
In addition, appropriate exercise can also help lower blood lipid and cholesterol levels and maintain cardiovascular health.
