For years, you’ve been told that high-cholesterol foods increase the risk of heart disease.
However, many recent studies have shown that this isn’t necessarily true.
Most of the cholesterol in your blood is produced by your liver. When you eat foods high in cholesterol, your liver produces less.
For this reason, cholesterol in the diet has only minor effects on blood cholesterol levels in most people.
Studies also suggest that eating dietary cholesterol has no link to heart attacks or strokes.
What’s more, many foods high in cholesterol are among the healthiest and most nutritious foods.
Here are 7 high-cholesterol foods that are super healthy.
1. Cheese
Cheese is a tasty, filling, nutrient-dense food.
One ounce or slice of cheddar provides 28 mg of cholesterol, which is a relatively high amount.
However, cheese is also loaded with other nutrients. For example, an ounce of cheddar has 7 grams of quality protein and provides 15% of the Daily Value (DV) for calcium.
Despite also being high in saturated fat, research suggests that it may improve heart health.
High-protein, low-carb dairy foods like cheese may likewise help decrease body fat and increase muscle mass.
SUMMARY
Cheese is a tasty, filling food that may improve heart health and
promote the loss of body fat.
