General nutrition:
Ensure nutritional needs are met by observing daily allowances of vitamins and minerals preferably through diet rather than taking supplements. Consume a diet low in fat with the lowest possible amount of cholesterol. The current mainstream recommendation is 300 mg or less per day. Intake of lower than 200 mg per day of cholesterol may yield even better health results. Limit saturated fats to as low as possible, avoid fried foods, and select fats containing the highest amounts of monounsaturated oils such as canola oil and olive oil. Include a handful of tree nuts in the diet once per day such as walnuts, Brazil nuts or pecans. Limit red meat to once per week, limit poultry and seafood to 3 times per week. Oily fish may be of benefit 3 times per week. Consume at least 5 fruits and vegetables per day in the form of whole foods, vegetables and fruits. Processed foods should be avoided.
