Low Cholesterol Types of Oils

Video Transcript

Hi, my name is Dr. Susan Jewell and on behalf of Expert Village I want to talk to you today about cholesterol and in particular I want to talk to you about ways to decrease the intake of LDL cholesterol in your diet. Because cholesterol the bad form of cholesterol is the major contributor to many cardiovascular diseases today like strokes and heart attacks. Now in this clip we are going to look at the important omegas in particular omegas threes. This is an important substance that you should increase in your diet because it has been studied that omega threes, the omegas actually decrease the triglycerides, it's another form of fatty compounds in your body and increase HDL level in your body. The HDL is the good form of cholesterol that you want to keep as high as possible. So here you, I've shown you some examples of products that contain omega, specifically omega three in it that you can buy readily in the super market and health food stores. Here I've got a big jar of fish oil, or omega three and this one is good because it comes in a gel capsule so you can just take one and swallow one without any cooking or preparation. So they come in these like gel caps and they're rather large so if you have difficulties swallowing they might not be a good form of taking your omegas but these are very good. Take usually one a day and that will give you your omega supplements daily recommended dose everyday or you can find omegas in fish, in a lot of fish like salmon, tuna and mackerel and here I have a tin of mackerel but is preferably better to go to a fishermen and get fresh fish of the day. But if you don't have time and you just want to make a quick dish that has a lot of fish in it, omegas and well you can just get a tin of mackerel a tin of salmon and make a sandwich or cook it in a dish or something. So these are good sources of omega three which I think you should keep a good, a high intake of everyday to decrease your risk of getting cardiovascular problems and decrease your levels of LDL and increase the good cholesterol which is the HDL.
