      Introduction

      This book is for people with high cholesterol or people who are at risk for having high cholesterol. The recipes within this book, which are the Paleo Diet and the Grain Free Diet, help to lower cholesterol naturally and may keep the readings normal. It helps to know the dangers of high cholesterol and why dieting may help to keep them at a normal range.

      First, it helps to know what cholesterol is. A fatty substance exists within the body naturally and is helpful to normal function within the brain, heart, intestines, liver, muscles, nerves, and skin. The presence of cholesterol in these locations aids the body in the production of hormones. It also helps in the production of vitamin D and helps to digest fats with the production of bile. When a person produces too much cholesterol, the excess cholesterol is deposited within the arteries, and especially in the coronary, and carotid arteries. These are the specific arteries to the heart and brain. Other areas of great risk for extra deposits are also the arteries that go to the legs. When this occurs, the cholesterol forms a plaque along the artery walls, which results in a blockage eventually.

      When the body produces too much cholesterol and it builds up in the artery walls, it produces symptoms of pain when walking if in the legs. If the blockage is in the carotid arteries, it can produce a stroke. If the blockage is near the heart, it can produce a heart attack. These conditions can be deadly.

      The main cause of coronary heart disease is high cholesterol. When the cholesterol deposits the excess to the arterial walls leading to the heart the result is a lack of oxygen and nutrients to the heart. The heart is constantly moving and the nutrients and oxygen are vital. If the arterial walls narrow the heart experiences angina or chest pain, meaning the heart is lacking oxygen. If this plaque on the arterial walls ruptures, it can cause a blood clot, which results in a complete blockage of the artery. This causes the cells in the heart to die from the lack of these vital nutrients and oxygen.

      Certain areas of the world have people with lower cholesterol readings, due to genetics and their diet. It is because of the similarities in their diets that lead to the low cholesterol diet plans. These areas have less heart disease and fewer strokes. When you have an area with people with high rates of heart disease, you also have high cholesterol readings. Again, their diets point to the cholesterol levels, and they all have high cholesterol. There is a big relation with diet and cholesterol. Men under 55 and women over 55 years can have higher than normal cholesterol levels on average. The threat for increasing cholesterol numbers go up as we age.

      Several factors affect the cholesterol levels in our body. Among those factors are genetics, our lifestyle, and our diet. Health conditions can also affect the levels such as kidney, liver, and thyroid conditions. If we have genetic concerns or an inherited chance with high cholesterol, our body may not metabolize the LDL cholesterol well. This is called hypercholesterolemia. The concern for this condition is early cardiovascular conditions and concerns.

      Weight can affect the cholesterol levels. By losing the weight, the LDL numbers may go down while the HDL cholesterol (the good cholesterol) goes up. In the same thought, exercise and physical activity helps to keep the bad cholesterol levels down while also raising the good HDL numbers.

      Lifestyle habits can also affect the cholesterol levels. If a person drinks over 2 alcoholic drinks a day they are at risk for raising their triglyceride levels which can stem high blood pressure and heart disease as well. If a person drinks 2 or less alcoholic beverages a day their HDL cholesterol levels may increase (this is a good thing,) however this does not help to lower the bad LDL cholesterol levels.

      Being stressed can also affect the cholesterol levels if the stress goes on for a longer period of time. If a person leads a stressful life they need to do things to either change their situation to make it less stressful or learn how to control the stress by finding ways to relieve it. Often a stressed person will eat the wrong foods, food high in saturated fats, to help relieve the stress and this adds to the increase of the cholesterol levels.

      Having high cholesterol levels does not always produce symptoms until it is too late. The best way to know if you have high cholesterol levels is to have a blood test each year to keep a check on the readings. If blood tests indicate the levels are rising or are high, you can start treatment. You need to determine if you are at risk for high cholesterol and start prevention and treatment now.

      One of the common threads of treatment and prevention for high cholesterol is diet. While diet may not have as great an impact on those affected with genetic dispositions to high cholesterol, it does greatly help with all the other reasons for high cholesterol. Dieting will help those with inherited tendencies to high cholesterol as part of the treatment, but not necessarily as the prevention.

      This book contains recipes for helping the body to have low cholesterol or normal readings. If you think you have cholesterol issues always seek the advice of your health care provider before starting any diet. Make sure you have your blood levels tested yearly. Talk with your doctor about this diet plan for helping to control cholesterol. Talk with them about the Paleo Diet and the Grain Free diets for prevention and treatment of high cholesterol. Both of these diets contain low fat foods and low fat recipes are what help in the treatment and prevention of cholesterol issues. Ask your health care provider about exercise and physical activity, which will help with the diet plan in lowering the bad cholesterol.

      Section 1: Paleo Cookbook

      What is the Paleo Diet?

      Also known as the caveman diet and the Stone Age diet, the Paleo diet is a diet which is low in sugar, low in sodium, largely dairy free and relatively high in protein. It’s a diet based on the foods which would have been available to our pre-agrarian Neolithic ancestors. The Paleo diet isn’t a carb-free or low carb diet, per se, but it is free of grains, with carbohydrates coming from fresh vegetables and fruits rather than grains.

      This is also a diet which steers clear of processed foods, at least for the most part – and any processed foods included in the diet are as minimally changed from their natural state as possible. While you obviously don’t have to hunt or gather your own ingredients (and to be honest, the diet does include many vegetables which weren’t really developed until we started to settle down
