This paper aims at providing about the effect or the Consequences of dietary portfolio of Cholesterol .It has been observed that combining the foods with recognized dietary portfolio helps in lowering the cholesterol and it has been very effective in lowering serum cholesterol under the conditions that is controlled by metabolism.

The effect of dietary portfolio is being administered at two levels of intensity. This paper aims at providing for the use of a dietary portfolio as compared with the low saturated fat diet advice that would aim at lowering the cholesterol.

Agencies which are concerned with the cardiovascular health gives importance to the diet and the lifestyle that aims at lowering the company the coronary heart disease and serum lipids. Since the year 1980’s many statins were introduced but they were not effective enough in controlling the cholesterol in the diet and as a result many efforts has been made for enhancing the ability of conventional dietary therapy so that serum cholesterol can be reduced.

The uses of Cholesterol lowering dietary components in the food or diet have shown the results of reducing the serum low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C).

“US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as associated with lowering serum cholesterol achieved significantly greater percentage decreases in LDL-C compared with a control diet at 6-month follow up. The control diet emphasized high fiber and whole grains but lacked portfolio components.” (Jama).

Recruitment was achieved by advertisement in the newspaper, in lipid clinics and in offices and then randomization took place. The dietitian and the participants were not blinded for treatment; but the statistician analyzed the samples.

The study visits occurred at baseline for controlling and portfolio of Dietary. The body weight were taken and measured and then a fasting blood samples were taken into consideration and were noted down properly. At each visit, blood pressures were noted and measured three times using a digital blood pressure monitor.

The study was approved by the ethics committee of St Michael’s Hospital and by the universities of Laval, Toronto, British Columbia and Manitoba. The Control dietary advice focused on low fat diary and on the whole grain cereals along with fruit and vegetables.

The participants were provided with the measuring cups as well as spoon for considering the portion in control. After the study the samples of the individuals were analyzed and they were labeled in the laboratory of the hospitals. However, it was found that intensive dietary portfolio resulted into great reduction in systolie blood pressure and even in the diastolic blood pressures as compared to control diet. “Participants who joined the study were already consuming an acceptable background diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol to provide a fairer illustration of the type of patients for whom standard dietary advice has failed to achieve therapeutic targets. This approach may underestimate the effectiveness of the diet when applied to those individuals who are not already following therapeutic diets.”( Jama)

It was concluded that the routine dietary portfolio aimed at reducing the CHD risk by ten times.

The study found that the reduction in LDL-C in the dietary portfolio intervention. Moreover, it was found that reduction in the LDL-C in the dietary portfolio intervention were half as compared to early statin trials associated with Twenty percent reduction in CHD risk mortality.

In conclusion this study aims at indicating the value of using the low cholesterol foods. Around 13 percent LDL-C reduction can be gained from low Cholesterol food.

CHD risk:

CHD risk is known as the Coronary heart disease risk that raises the risk of coronary heart disease and heart attack. Coronary heart disease is a common term that is being used for the  plaque that is being build up in the arteries of the heart that ultimately results into heart attack.

Lipoprotein cholesterol:

Lipoprotein Cholesterol is the bad cholesterol. LDL gets absorbed in the walls of blood vessels that cause blockages of atherosclerosis. Higher LDL levels in the walls of blood vessels causes’ great risk for a heart attack from a sudden clotting of blood in an artery that is narrowed by atherosclerosis. LDL cholesterol checked helps in determining the risk for heart disease. If the LDL cholesterol is high, then in that case the treatment can reduce the chance of having a heart attack.

Low saturated fat diet:

Low saturated fat diet is such a diet that aims at limiting the sources of saturated fats from the meats of the animals, egg yolks, and dairy foods such as cream, butter. Sources of saturated fats and oils must be totally avoided. Low saturated fat diet helps in controlling the cholesterol and prevents the risk of heart attack or any coronary heart diseases. Low saturated fat diet helps the person to remain healthy and fit for their life.

Metabolism:

Metabolism is a word that is used for describing all the chemical reactions that helps in maintaining the living cells and the organism. Metabolism process is divided into two processes that are catabolism and Anabolism. Metabolism helps in ensuring the availability of nutrients. Nutrition is considered as the key element of metabolism.

Cholesterol:

Cholesterol is a fat that is being produced by the liver. Cholesterol is very important for normal functioning of the body. Every cell in our body contains cholesterol in the outer layer. It is transported in the blood plasma of all people. Cholesterol helps in insulating the nerve fibers. It is very important for metabolism of fats but high amount of Cholesterol is very harmful for the people. High Cholesterol causes heart attack and causes the risk of coronary heart diseases.
