which are the best meat foods for heart condition?

Question

tesco healthy ready made meals suitable for heart conditon

Answer 1

White meat - chicken and turkey. Also fish.
Red meat - too high in fat.

Reduce your cholesterol by eating oatmeal in some form every day either in cookies or snack bars. Cholesterol sticks to oatmeal and passes out the body quickly. I call it the cholesterol magnet.

Answer 2

Ready made foods are not good for heart. You need LOw Fat/Low Cholestrol/Low Salt foods.


Soy Protein

Cholesterol lowering quality of soy protein was evidenced when FDA approved the health claim for its effects on risk of heart disease. To achieve intended result, you have to consume at least four servings of 6.25 grams of soy protein totaling daily intake to 25 grams per day. Many food manufacturers have since introduced soy beverages and energy bars containing up to 10 to 20 grams of soy protein. People with high cholesterol - levels of 260-300, soy protein has shown to reduce cholesterol by 15-25%.

Nuts

Nuts such as almonds and walnuts that have high amount of monounsaturated or polyunsaturated, also help lowering cholesterol. Researchers at the Loma Linda University found that a diet containing pecans not only lowered total and LDL--or "bad" cholesterol significantly but also helped to maintain desirable levels of HDL--or "good"--cholesterol. Another study conducted by the same University found that Mediterranean style diet that included walnuts lowered cholesterol.

Oats and Barley

In lowering cholesterol, oats and barley have played a critical role. These foods have a soluble fiber known as Beta Glucan, which is the key, in how they lower the cholesterol. To gain the intended cholesterol lowering effect, you have to consume anywhere between two and four cups of dry oat or barley cereal each day.

Fruits and Vegetables

Fruits and vegetables such as apples, citrus fruit, berries, carrots, apricots, cabbage, sweet potatoes are high in soluble fiber and pectin both shown to be helpful in lowering cholesterol. At least five servings a day is recommended to benefit the full effect.

Flaxseed

Flaxseed provides alpha-linolenic acid a poly-unsaturated fat which has been shown to lower cholesterol while providing needed soluble fiber.

Olive Oil

Olive oil is one of the mono-saturated fats and studies have shown that it lowers blood cholesterol. Extra virgin olive oil is suggested to be better than other varieties.

Fish

According to researchers, fish containing a omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids make the blood more slippery and less likely to clot in addition to lowering blood cholesterol.

Cautions:

Instead of frying foods, bake, roast, or grill. Cut back on egg yolks and if you drink 2% milk change to 1% and if possible, skim milk.

Answer 3

By far, fish is the best meat for a heart condition. The Omega-3 fatty acids increase your "good cholesterol".

Answer 4

The best meat foods for a heart condition are McDonalds, Burgerking, Kentucky fried chicken, places like that.

Answer 5

Vegan diet is the best for heart condition. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegan#Health If you got to have meat, fish is the best - preferably if farm raised in inland ponds. See http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?chanID=sa003&articleID=4CD31D31E16AC873F5F421D5880E88D6 (notice in the 10th paragraph where it says: "We already know that eating fish can reduce the risk of sudden cardiac death, and this might provide another reason to add fish to your diet"). You should also eat a lot of buckwheat with a vegan diet. See http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=11#healthbenefits
