I always start my meal planning by looking to see what proteins I have stocked in my freezer. This is why I love ordering @omahasteaks bundles, quality protein shipped directly to my door and always available in my freezer when I need it!

So now that you know what matters to most when it comes to your heart health, triglycerides and HDL, how do we improve those numbers?
Our goal needs to be to reduce triglycerides and increase HDL!
Triglycerides are a type of fat found in the blood, and high levels can increase the risk of heart disease and other health problems. You may think that eating a lot of fat increases triglycerides but in reality is is sugar, carbs, and alcohol having the biggest impact. Here are some ways to reduce triglycerides:
💪🏼Reduce sugar and processed carbohydrate in your diet.
💪🏼Increase fiber! Eat a lot more vegetables, fruit and high fiber grains in your diet.
💪🏼Reduce alcohol intake.
💪🏼Increase your daily step count and exercise regularly.
💪🏼Maintain a healthy weight.
💪🏼Quit smoking.
💪🏼Manage and reduce your stress.
Many of the things that lower triglycerides will also help increase HDL.
HDL (high-density lipoprotein) is often referred to as “good” cholesterol, as it can help remove excess cholesterol from the body and transport it back to the liver for processing. Here are some additional ways to increase HDL levels:
💪🏼Increase exercise and daily activity is the #1 way you can increase your HDL
💪🏼Include healthy fats in your diet, specifically MCT oil found in coconut oil. The Lauric acid and Capric acid will help raise HDL. Also foods high in omega 3 fatty acids like fatty fish (salmon, tuna, sardines) flaxseeds, chia seeds and walnuts.
💪🏼Don’t smoke: Smoking can lower HDL levels, so quitting smoking can help increase them.
💪🏼Reduce alcohol intake.
💪🏼Reduce sugar and processed carbohydrates in your diet.
💪🏼Increase fiber! Eat a lot more vegetables, fruit and high fiber grains in your diet.
It’s all about a healthy foundation and this is what I teach my LEAN clients the most! It is the simple things like walking, stress reduction, more fiber, less sugar, good sleep etc that impact your health the most! If you skip over the simple things then it is impossible to truly improve your health!
I would love to help you improve your heart health in February! New session of lean just started and there are a few left! Link in my bio @amandanighbertrd
