We're mentioning in the previous page about the 70:30 percent rule ie that you need to take 70 percent of your diet from waterish foods and 30 percent from solid or concentrated foods.

Probably, you might still be skeptical of the 70 and 30 percent rule of our food. Probably you might be thinking of lions, tigers, wolves etc who only eat meat and in a sense defy the 70 : 30 percent food rule.

If you've ever had the opportunity to see a lion take down a zebra, you will have noticed that the lion will rip open the underside of its prey, open its belly up, and go straight in and eat the intestines.

Why is it that when the lion takes down the zebra, it goes straight for the intestines? Because, by and large, carnivorous animals don't eat other carnivorous animals. Think about it: lions don't eat tigers. Bears don't eat wolves (unless of course there's nothing else left to eat). Carnivorous animals eat animals that are plant and fruit eaters, because that is what all animals need.

They have to have food from the plant kingdom. Either an animal will take its food directly from the plant kingdom, or it will eat animals that are eating that food. The reason a lion will go straight to the intestines is that there it finds the predigested high water content food.

Then it will eat all the organs, because they have a very high water content. Then it will lap up the blood, because the blood is over 90 percent water! In other words, it goes from the inside to the outside. What is left at last is the muscle meat.

While you may find a recommended low cholesterol diet, it's always best to make it as easy to remember as possible. To always be on the safe side and consume a low cholesterol diet, remember the only 2 rules about a low cholesterol diet:

- All foods of animal origin are foods high in cholesterol and fats.

- Vegetables and fruits do not contain cholesterol and fats, i.e. they are foods to consume in order to have a low cholesterol diet.

When you chose your food have two thirds from the high water content foods and only one third from the solid foods. By following this type of "low cholesterol diet" you will lower your cholesterol. Numerous studies have shown that dietary modifications can reduce cholesterol by 15 to 30 percent or more.

Please do remember that while the low cholesterol diet consist of fruits and vegetables, diets for high cholesterol, consist mainly of foods high in carbohydrates and saturated fats.

In addition to improving your diet for lowering cholesterol, begin an aerobic exercise program and get your weight to normal (if you're overweight).
