Healthy Heart Diet

which is loaded with red
meat, dairy products, fried
and overprocessed foods. In
contrast, the Japanese, who
live primarily on a diet of
fish, vegetables and rice, ex-
perience five times fewer
heart attacks than people in
Western countries, he said.
High cholesterol levels in
the blood may lead to fatty
deposits on the walls of cor-
onary arteries, which in-
crease the risk of heart
attack.
What many people don't
realize is that high
cholesterol levels usually
begin during childhood.
Children of parents with high
cholesterol levels have a
greater chance of developing
the same problem, due to
dietary or genetic factors — or
both, Dr. Orringer said.
Children with high
cholesterol at the age of 5
tend to have the same pro-
blem later.
And while some people's
genes allow them to
metabolize cholesterol more
efficiently than others, most
people can lower their
cholesterol levels through
diet. Reading nutrition labels
is a start; cooking and eating
to get the most flavor and
nutrition for the least amount
of cholesterol and saturated
fat — which plays a major role
in raising blood cholesterol —
is another way.
Here are some hints that
may change the way you shop,
eat — and feel:
• Buy margarines that list
a liquid polyunsaturated oil
as the first ingredient, and
avoid those with a hydrogen-
ated oil listed first.
• Buy chicken, turkey, fish
and veal more often than beef
or lamb which contain more
fat and less meat per pound.
• Avoid luncheon and varie-
ty meats such as bologna,
salami, frankfurters and
liverwurst, all of which are
high in fat and sodium and
have added chemical
preservatives.
• Buy cheeses made from
skim milk, which are low in
fat and high in protein. These
include dry curd cottage
cheese and farmer's cheese
and some specially processed
low-fat cheeses.
• Avoid most commercial
coffee creamers — they are
typically made of coconut or
palm oil and are high in
artery-clogging saturated fat.
• Beware of words that
mean fat, such as lard, palm
oil, palm kernel oil, coconut
oil, monoglyceride, diglycer-
ide, vegetable shortening,
cocoa butter. ❑

An ounce of prevention is
worth . . . half a pound of fish
in one's weekly diet, or so says
a University of Michigan car-
diologist who stresses sensi-
ble eating for a healthy heart.
And while eating fish —
which can reduce the
cholesterol level in your blood
and help prevent heart at-
tacks — can do wonders for
your heart, that alone won't
do the trick.
Improving your overall
nutrition — prevention, in
other words — is often all that
is needed.
"There's no magic involv-
ed," said Carl Orringer, M.D.
"Cholesterol reduction
through a modification in diet
and regular, controlled exer-
cise can reduce the onset of
heart disease and significant-
ly alter the long-term sur-
vival rate of a person with a
history of cardiac problems."
Dr. Orringer and his staff at
Med Sport, the U-M's sports
medicine and preventive car-
diology clinic, specialize in
teaching heart patients how
to reduce the risk of recurrent
cardiac illness by modifying
dietary-related risk factors:
high blood cholesterol, high
blood pressure, diabetes
mellitus and obesity. Better
nutrition and exercise often
can reduce all four factors,
but medication may be
necessary for some patients.
Dr. Orringer also em-
phasizes the modification of
other risk factors such as
smoking and stress. This
is accomplished through
various programs of risk fac-
tor detection, weight control
and smoking cessation.
For many, dietary changes
are enough to reduce the
threat of cardiovascular
disease. "We often see a
significant improvement in
cholesterol levels within a
month of putting a patient on
a nutrition program," said Dr.
Orringer, who co-authored a
grocery shopping guide to
help consumers select foods
lower in dietary saturated fat
and cholesterol.
For others, diet and exercise
combined successfully lower
cholesterol without medica-
tion. Exercise is beneficial,
Dr. Orringer said, because it
increases the production of a
blood protein called high-
density lipoprotein, or HDL,
which helps eliminate
cholesterol from the blood-
stream. Exercise also helps
shave off excess pounds and
improves the efficiency of the
heart.
Coronary disease in the
United States is largely blam-
ed on the American diet,
