NUTRITION DICTIONARY

We've all heard of it but do we really know what it is?

This week - Cholesterol

A fat like substance produced by the live and also found in some high fat foods of animal origin. Cholesterol surrounds every cell in the body and is needed to maintain nerve fibres, produce hormones and transport fats around the body.

Too much cholesterol is bad for the body but it is easy to lower your levels. Watch out for saturated fats, which are more harmful than unsaturated or polyunsaturated.

Saturated fats can clog arteries and disrupt healthy hormone activity. Beware of hidden fats also, which can increase cholesterol levels - those found in cakes, biscuits, crisps etc.

You can now have your cholesterol level counted at larger pharmacies or your GP will be happy to send you for a simple blood test and give advice on lowering your cholesterol. 		   

PMS RELIEF?

Researchers think that a long term calcium imbalance in some women may cause worse PMS symptoms. Researchers in New York took a group of 466 women with moderate to severe PMS and gave half of them a daily 1200 mg calcium supplement whilst the other half unknowingly took a placebo. After three months, women taking the calcium reported that their symptoms had at least halved!

            

VITAMINS - KNOW YOUR COLOURS

Orange and Yellow - Apricots, sweet potatoes and carrots are a rich source of beta-carotene which the body converts into vitamin A.

Dark green - broccoli, spinach and cabbage contain calcium, folic acid and vitamin C. Peas provide vitamin E which helps maintain low levels of cholesterol.

Red and Pink - Raspberries, strawberries, tomatoes, red peppers and watermelon are fully of vitamin C which boosts immunity to infection and aids iron absorption.
