Yesterday we talked about how cholesterol comes from animal protein. If you do have high cholesterol, it doesn’t mean you need to become a vegan or anything. You can start with a Meatless Monday and slowly incorporate some more plant based protein in your diet. Even just eating 50% can make a world of a difference in lowering cholesterol and improving heart health. Adding the right plant-based proteins can help reduce LDL (“bad”) cholesterol while keeping you full and energized!
Here are 7 powerful, cholesterol-lowering plant-based proteins:
1️⃣ Chia Seeds
2️⃣ Legumes (Beans and Lentils)
3️⃣ Organic Tofu
4️⃣ Quinoa
5️⃣ Nuts
6️⃣ Organic Edamame
7️⃣ Organic Tempeh
These foods are packed with nutrients, fiber, and healthy fats to support your heart health. 🥗💚
昨天我提到膽固醇是從動物性蛋白質的。如果您確實患有高膽固醇, 並不意味著您需要成為素食主義者。您可以從週一無肉開始, 然後慢慢在飲食中加入更多植物性蛋白質。即使只吃 50% 的飲食含有素蛋白,在降低膽固醇和改善心臟健康方面也會產生巨大的影響。
添加盡量少加工的植物蛋白有助於降低低密度脂蛋白(「壞」)膽固醇,同時讓您保持飽腹感和活力!
以下是 7 種強效降低膽固醇的植物性蛋白質:
1️⃣ 奇亞籽
2️⃣ 豆類(黃豆、扁豆)
3️⃣ 豆腐
4️⃣ 藜麥
5️⃣ 堅果
6️⃣ 毛豆
7️⃣ 天貝
這些食物富含營養素、纖維和健康脂肪,可支持您的心臟健康。 🥗💚
