  • What makes a diet healthy for our heart? Do I need to eat more or less fat? And can I still eat meat for a healthy heart?
    Welcome back to my series on how to use our diet to lower our cholesterol levels. My name is Didi and I am an Irish based registered dietitian, working for my dietitian clinic called Didititian. As always, if you like this video, please let me know by leaving a little positive comment, and by liking this video, maybe subscribing/following my page.

    In my last video, I discussed what cholesterol is, and helped us to get into the right mindset to start our heart healthy diet. Here is a link to that video: • What is Cholesterol? H...
    In today’s video I will lay out the foundations to a heart healthy diet and cover some practical food swaps and hacks which can help us on our journey to lowering cholesterol levels. This heart healthy diet foundation is largely based on the Heart UK programme called the “ultimate cholesterol lowering plan” which has compiled most of the up-to-date evidence on heart health into several key heart-healthy habits.

    Thank you, exactly what I was looking for! Informative but not overly technical, engaging but no annoying editing or click bait. This was the motivation I needed!

    Your video was very helpful to me. I'm 47. A month ago, I learned my total cholesterol was 204 and I have another appt. in november to see how I'm doing. Not bad, but time to learn how to make some positive changes. Wow! There's a lot of conflicting information out there. You gave a good foundation of knowledge here and I put a lot of notes in my phone for learning and reference. Thank you for sharing.

    Amazing info
    I would be grateful if you let me know how to become anutritionist in Ireland, I am an Egyptian doctor and I don't know the steps to work in Ireland as anutritionist

      Thank you! And to become a dietitian in Ireland, you will need to study dietetics and then meet the criteria of our registration organisation called CORU. To be a nutritionist here, there is no formal guidance. I hope that helps! 🙂

    I just started seeing a heart doctor a little over a year ago, my cholesterol was 230, not good she wanted to put me on a staten drug, I told her to let me change up my diet and see what happens. Six months later I get checked again my cholesterol was 119, I thought that was great, she tells me my cholesterol needs to be under 100, 70, thats where it needs to be. I am suppose to get checked again on Jan 3, I am thinking about rescheduling seeing that is right after the holidays. Is it possible to get my Chol under 100?

    What is the opinion about soy-based sauces and miso products besides moderation? I've stopped using them because I've been using them too much lately, but what would be the more informed paradigm since soy beans are encouraged?

    When allergic to seafood what would be the trade off for the good fats?

      Flax seeds (whole or ground) and flax seed oil are often cost-effective sources of omega 3 from a non-seafood source!

    Way out of touch with the modern biochemistry of nutrition. For example, you discuss "cholesterol" without exploring the relationships between the various types, the ratio between Triglycerides v HDL for instance (a highly significant index of likely CVD), and merely discuss them as separate categories and ends in themselves. The old good and bad cholesterol nonsense. And relatively recent research actually shows (without qualification) that people with higher Cholesterol levels have a dramatically lower incidence of mortality from cardiovascular disease than those with lower readings. All cholesterol is NOT the same, and not good OR bad in themselves. It's in the peer reviewed academic literature (not merely RUclips raves) so don't take my word for it. Go and read it and take it into consideration for your next talk if you're serious about this stuff.
