- Summary:
-
This illustrated guide was designed to help parents understand: (1) how blood cholesterol in children is related to heart disease later in life; (2) which children should get their cholesterol tested and what to expect afterwards; (3) how the whole family can eat in a low-saturated fat, low-cholesterol way; and (4) how to help children follow a prescribed diet to lower cholesterol. The theme reflected throughout the manual is that changes in eating patterns help lower blood cholesterol levels and prevent heart disease. The booklet is organized into two chapters. The first, "Cholesterol is a Family Affair," covers how blood cholesterol affects heart disease, what affects blood cholesterol levels, and when a child may need a cholesterol test. The second chapter, "Make Heart-Healthy Eating a Family Routine," covers shopping for foods that are low in saturated fat and cholesterol, heart-healthy meals and snacks, recipes and healthy fast foods, and sample menus. Appendices provide lists of foods to choose or to decrease, methods for figuring saturated fat and total fat in grams, and charts for tracking the child's current eating patterns and exercise schedule.
