Foods to Boost Male Health--- Plant Stanols 

最有益于男性健康的食物---植物甾醇

 

Stanols are naturally occurring substances in fruits and vegetables that have been shown to lower mildly elevated blood cholesterol levels. Manufacturers are now adding concentrated versions of them to products like margarine, yogurt, orange juice, and granola bars.

甾醇自然存在于水果蔬菜中，已经被证明可以温和的减低血管胆固醇水平。一些工厂在生产奶油，酸奶，橙汁，和格兰诺拉燕麦卷的时候会添加这种物质的浓缩形态。

"Men should regularly include a total of 2 grams of plant stanols, taken in two doses with meals, to help inhibit absorption of cholesterol in the intestine," says Farrell.

"男性应该始终把体内植物甾醇的的含量保持在2克，随饭分两次摄入，它可以抑制肠内胆固醇的吸收。"Farrell说。

She suggests having 2-3 teaspoons of plant stanol spreads such as Benecol, or 16 ounces of stanol-fortified orange juice per day. Plant stanols can safely be used with cholesterol lowering medication.

她建议每天食用2-3茶匙植物甾醇制品，如Benecol，或者16盎司添加甾醇的橙汁。植物甾醇可用来作为安全降低胆固醇的药物。
