[quote=Anonymous]Cholesterol: Lower your intake of saturated fats (would suggest no more than 10 grams a day) and eat a lot more fiber, especially soluable fiber. From the National Lipid Association: "Soluble fiber is a type of fiber found in plant foods. Because it is not absorbed in the intestine, soluble fiber can bind cholesterol in the intestine and remove it from the body." While food labeling lists saturated fat and fiber, it can be much harder to find out soluable fiber content, so it will take some internet searching. You should aim for at least 10 grams of soluable fiber a day. I try to get in a half to one teaspoon of psyllium a day sprinkled over food (1 tsp has about 6 grams of fiber.) You can also dissolve in water, but I don't find this appealing. Diabetes: Limit your intake of carbohydrates that are sugar (content labels will list this). Soluable fiber also helps to regulate sugar levels. [/quote]
