Kostråd ved høyt kolesterol

Du bør redusere mengden mettet fett i maten. Hovedkilder for mettet fett i kosten er kjøtt, kjøttprodukter, margarin og melkeprodukter - dette er derfor matvarer du bør skjære ned på. Unngå også i størst mulig grad matvarer med transfett. På innholdsfortegnelsen til varer som inneholder transfett, kan du lese at produktet inneholder "delvis herdet vegetabilsk fett". Transfett finner du blant annet i småkaker, kjeks, muffins, osv. Innholdet av transfett gjør at disse varene holder seg "friske og ferske" lengre ved lagring. Transfett øker det dårlige LDL-kolesterolet og senker det gode HDL-kolesterolet.

Du bør begrense det totale fettinntaket og bruke mer umettet fett og mindre mettet fett. Det betyr økt inntak av fet fisk, myke margariner og olivenolje, og mindre harde margariner og fete kjøttvarer. Øk mengden karbohydrater slik som grove kornprodukter, frukt og grønnsaker. Begrens alkoholforbruket, men inntak av mindre mengder alkohol (inntil to enheter daglig) er ikke helseskadelig.

Nøtter er rike på umettet fett og har lite mettet fett. Et daglig inntak av moderate mengder nøtter (cirka 50 gram) gir en reduksjon av kolesterol, LDL-kolesterol og triglycerider. Men husk, nøtter er kaloririke og må derfor komme i stedet for annen mat, og ikke i tillegg til. 

Rød gjæret ris (red yeast rice) inneholder flere aktive stoffer, blant annet et naturlig forekommende statin. Forskning viser at risen senker total-kolesterol, LDL-kolesterol og triglyserider. Det er imidlertid enklere og sikrere å gi riktig dose statin ved å bruke tabletter.
