More DescriptionCholesterol is a health risk that troubles millions of people throughout the world. Although a certain amount of cholesterol in the blood is essential for health, too much can be harmful because the excess could adhere to and accumulate in the arteries' inner walls. Thus, the blood would not have the same amount of space to circulate. The consequence, then, is the decrease of blood flow and oxygen that reach the heart. While the causes of cholesterol are many, such as genetic predisposition, obesity, or the presence of other diseases like diabetes, everyday diet can be a major and essential tool in preventing and treating it. The recipes included in this volume are intended to be part of a plan of culinary choices that can be incorporated into a diet without cholesterol.
