Cholesterol & Diet: The Modern Truth

Forget the old myth that eating high-cholesterol foods like eggs is the main culprit — research shows that’s not the case. The real focus should be on limiting your overall intake of saturated fats, from butter, fatty meats and pastries — as these are what truly drive cholesterol levels up.

Smart Swaps: Instead of… → Try this…

• Butter & cream → Olive oil or rapeseed oil drizzle
• Sausages & fatty cuts of meat → Beans, lentils, or chickpeas
• Cakes & pastries → Oat-based snacks or fruit with dark chocolate
• Crisps & fried snacks → A handful of raw, unsalted nuts
• Cheese overload → Small amounts of reduced-fat cheese + hummus or avocado
• Sugary cereals → Oats, porridge, or overnight oats
• White carbs → Wholegrains: brown rice, quinoa, wholemeal bread

Looking at the bigger picture

Cholesterol doesn’t act in isolation. Your gut is the epicentre of health, influencing not just your digestion but your heart, hormones, immunity and even your cholesterol balance. When your gut thrives, every system benefits — including the one that protects your heart.

One of the most simple and proven ways to deliver on digestive health is to aim to include 30 different plants in your diet each week. Read more on how to action this here: Boost Your Gut Health

Calm Your Gut, Lift Your Mind.

Nutrition significantly impacts the gut-brain axis by providing essential building blocks for neurotransmitters, regulating the gut microbiome, and influencing inflammation, thereby affecting mood, cognition, and overall brain health.

Key nutritional factors include omega-3 fatty acids, fibre-rich foods, polyphenols, and probiotics from fermented foods, which promote a diverse and healthy gut environment and support healthy gut-brain communication.

The good news? With the right testing, targeted nutrition, expert advice and gut repair protocols, from Champneys, we can often rebalance and transform your health within weeks.
