Tell me about Cholesterol
Cholesterol is a type of fat which is essential in the body. However, the problem arises when there is too much cholesterol in the blood. The two main types of blood cholesterol you should monitor are:
1. Low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol - which can have a negative effect on the heart. Foods high in saturated fat, such as fatty meats and pastries, can raise LDL cholesterol.
2. High density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol - which can have a protective effect on the heart1.
Your doctor can advise on your blood cholesterol levels. Aim for more 'HDL' cholesterol, and less 'LDL' cholesterol.
Why are plant sterols beneficial for my cholesterol levels?
Plant sterols occur naturally in foods such as nuts, seeds, legumes, fruits and vegetables, but only in small amounts. Plant sterols work by blocking cholesterol absorption in the gut, and in turn reducing the amount of 'total' and 'LDL' cholesterol the body takes up.
The National Heart Foundation of Australia recommends a daily intake of 2-3 grams of plant sterols for people at risk of problems to their heart, because of their ability to effectively lower 'LDL' cholesterol4.This can be achieved with just 2-3 serves of Dairy Farmers HeartActive™ daily.
In fact, research shows that consuming plant sterol-enriched, low fat milk every day can safely reduce LDL cholesterol by up to 15%, in just three weeks³.
So, enjoy 2-3 serves of Dairy Farmers HeartActive™ as part of a healthy balanced diet, combined with regular physical activity.
