With lipid metabolism disorders, blood lipids (cholesterol, triglycerides, or both) are abnormally altered. A fat-conscious diet with plenty of unsaturated fatty acids and little saturated fat is essential. Here you can see which foods are classified as suitable or unsuitable with lipid metabolism disorder.
With Lipid Metabolism Disorder, 145 foods are currently allowed and 123 foods are not recommended. Check all foods in the interactive tool above.
Foods high in unsaturated fatty acids are recommended: olive oil, canola oil, nuts, seeds, fatty fish (salmon, mackerel), avocado, and plenty of vegetables, fruit, and whole grains. These promote favorable blood lipid levels.
Saturated fats (sausage, bacon, fatty meat, butter, cream, coconut fat) and trans fats (fast food, margarine, baked goods) raise LDL cholesterol and should be greatly reduced. Sugar and alcohol also negatively affect triglycerides.
Yes, soluble fiber from oats, legumes, apples, and psyllium husks can lower LDL cholesterol by up to 10%. A daily intake of 25 to 30 g of fiber from various sources is recommended.
Eggs contain cholesterol but raise blood cholesterol levels in most people only minimally, as the body adjusts its own cholesterol production. Moderate consumption (up to 3 eggs per week) is generally harmless. Check with a doctor if LDL is elevated.
Dyslipidemia is the umbrella term for all lipid metabolism disorders, including elevated cholesterol, elevated triglycerides, or a combination. High cholesterol is therefore one form of dyslipidemia.
Unsaturated fatty acids from olive oil, canola oil, nuts, avocado, and fatty fish are recommended. They can lower LDL cholesterol and raise HDL cholesterol. Saturated fats and trans fats should be strongly limited.
