• Soya<br />
There is some evidence that soya and soya products can lower your cholesterol levels and<br />
there<strong>for</strong>e reduce your risk of heart disease. Taking 25g of soya protein every day can lead<br />
to a small reduction in total cholesterol. The following suggestions are useful choices to<br />
help you meet this daily intake:<br />
1 litre of soya milk<br />
150g tofu<br />
try soya yoghurts<br />
use soya mince instead of meat/poultry mince.<br />
Weight<br />
Being overweight can have a significant effect on your cholesterol levels especially if you carry<br />
your weight around your waist and abdomen. In recent years it has been shown that waist<br />
circumference is a more accurate way of telling whether someone is overweight and at higher risk<br />
of heart disease.<br />
Body mass index (BMI) is a measure used to indicate how healthy your weight is. To calculate your<br />
BMI divide your weight (kg) by your height (m) squared<br />
BMI = weight (kg) ÷ (height (m) x height (m))<br />
BMI is categorised into ranges that indicate how healthy your weight is <strong>for</strong> your height. Health<br />
risks are greater <strong>for</strong> people of Asian ethnicity at a lower weight, so there are different suggested<br />
ranges <strong>for</strong> each BMI category.<br />
