Bacon
Bacon raises cholesterol to a very high level. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, 15 grams of bacon averages approximately 10-15 grams of cholesterol and around 7 grams of fat. A healthier alternative to bacon is turkey bacon, as it contains less cholesterol than the typical pork bacon. Generally, cutting down the intake or complete avoidance of bacon may be one of the most advisable steps to take.
Conclusion
When an individual has high levels of bad cholesterol, it may cause cholesterol buildup in the arteries, which causes a higher risk of heart disease. Fortunately, there are lifestyle changes that can help in lowering cholesterol levels in the blood. For example, consuming fiber, especially soluble fiber in fruits, helps lower LDL cholesterol levels.
