High Cholesterol- Leads to clogged Arteries & heart attack
The New 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans have lifted the restrictions on high cholesterol foods, stating we currently do not have enough evidence to prove that high cholesterol foods raise blood cholesterol. However, each person is different and some studies on certain populatons do show an effect. Dietary recommendations should be person-specific.

High Triglycerides- leads to heart disease
Simply stated, triglycerides are a reflection of our current diet and a mix of fats and sugars in the blood. If we eat large meals, drink too much alcohol, eat sweets, desserts or a lot of other carbs often, and eat a high fat diet (fried foods, cream sauces, fatty meats), we will likely have high triglycerides.
This is a condition that is very easy to fix. Not to say that you must give up all these foods and drinks, but you willl likely find that consuming these items more in moderation will do the trick. Come see us for some fine tuning. We have all the best tips for lowering trigycerides.
