Cholesterol Lowered with Snacking

What you eat affects your cholesterol, but how often you eat might play a role too, according to Mayo Clinic Women's HealthSource.

 


What you eat affects your cholesterol, but how often you eat might play a role too, according to Mayo Clinic Women's HealthSource.

A study recently published in the British Medical Journal found that people who ate five or six times a day had a five percent lower total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (the "bad" kind) than people who ate once or twice a day.

 


Even more striking, the frequent eaters ate more fat and calories than the group who ate one or two meals.

Animals who eat large, infrequent meals also show an increase in cholesterol production. It could be that frequent snackers are reaping the benefits of metabolism.

Mayo Clinic Health Letter offers these diet changes to help lower cholesterol:

* Maintain a diet with a fat content between 10 percent and 20 percent.

* Minimize saturated and trans fats and high cholesterol foods.

* Consume adequate soluble fiber. Good sources include oat bran, dried beans, carrots, apples and citrus fruits.
