need cholesterol (a type of fat) on a regular basis, your body can make all it needs!<\/p>\n<p>Consuming too much dietary cholesterol from foods may increase your risk of heart problems.<\/p>\n<p>It's present in animal-based foods like meats, eggs, cheese, whole milk, and other full-fat dairy products.<\/p>\n<p>If you're trying to lower blood cholesterol, aim to consume less than 200 milligrams of dietary cholesterol daily and limit saturated fat to <a href=\"https:\/\/medlineplus.gov\/howtolowercholesterolwithdiet.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">13 grams<\/a> per day with a 2,000-calorie meal plan.<\/p>\n<p>Increase your intake of fiber-rich foods, get regular exercise, and maintain a healthy weight too.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Fiber<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Fiber is the roughage

Examples include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 cup of split peas: 16 grams<\/li>\n<li>1 cup of lentils: 15-16 grams<\/li>\n<li>1 cup of black beans: 15 grams<\/li>\n<li>1 cup of baked beans: 10

is a mineral present in salt that's commonly added to foods during the manufacturing process.<\/p>\n<p>While your body needs sodium to function properly, ingesting too much sodium from foods can lead to high blood pressure and heart problems.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/food\/nutrition-education-resources-materials\/sodium-your-diet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FDA<\/a>) suggests adults consume less than 2,300 milligrams of sodium per day to optimize health and wellness.<\/p>\n<p>If you struggle with high blood pressure or heart disease, your doctor might recommend you further reduce your sodium intake.<\/p>\n<p>Foods rich in sodium include salty snacks, highly-processed meats, condiments, fried foods, canned goods, and prepackaged meals.<\/p>\n<p>For example, some types of soups contain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/healthy-lifestyle\/nutrition-and-healthy-eating\/in-depth\/sodium\/art-20045479\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">nearly 800 milligrams<\/a> of sodium per serving.<\/p>\n<p>If cutting back on sodium is your goal, use the following nutrition facts label guidelines (per serving) pertaining to packaged foods:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sodium-free: less than 5 milligrams<\/li>\n<li>Very low sodium: 35 milligrams of sodium or less<\/li>\n<li>Low sodium: 140 milligrams of sodium or less<\/li>\n<li>Reduced sodium: at least 25% less sodium<\/li>\n<li>Light in sodium: at least 50% less sodium<\/li>\n<li>No-salt-added: no salt added during processing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>One teaspoon of table salt contains 2,300 mg of sodium, so steer clear of using a salt shaker whenever possible.<\/p>\n<p>Choose fresh, whole foods while grocery shopping.<\/p>\n<p>Prepare meals at home as often as you can, rather than dining out.<\/p>\n<h3>Sugar<\/h3>\n<p>Sugar is a nutrient found naturally in some whole foods, but it's also commonly added to processed foods during manufacturing.<\/p>\n<p>Foods containing natural sugar include milk, yogurt, fruits, vegetables, and some whole grains.<\/p>\n<p>Added sugar is refined sugar, which when consumed in excess can contribute to unwanted weight gain, obesity, and type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n<p>It's often present in baked goods, sweets, sodas, other sugary drinks, condiments, and many prepackaged foods.<\/p>\n<p>When viewing nutrition facts labels on packaged foods, you can see total sugar and added sugar content listed in grams.<\/p>\n<p>Look at the ingredient list to spot sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, cane syrup, cane juice, molasses, or sucrose (all added sugars).<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heart.org\/en\/healthy-living\/healthy-eating\/eat-smart\/sugar\/how-much-sugar-is-too-much\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">American Heart Association<\/a> recommends men and women consume no more than the following amounts of added sugar daily:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Women: 25 grams of added sugar<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Men: 36 grams of added sugar<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A 12-ounce can of soda contains nearly 40 grams of added sugar so avoid soda, other sugar-sweetened beverages, and sweet treats whenever you can.<\/p>\n<p><em>Learn how to reduce sugar addiction and recognize sugar addiction symptoms!<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"video-responsive\"><iframe src=\"
