What is cholesterol-Lowering Diet?
Although some blood cholesterol comes from food, most of it is made by the liver; diet has a significant effect, especially on LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Eating rich in saturated fat (butter, tail fat, fatty and processed meat) and trans fat raises LDL; soluble fibre (oats, pulses), vegetables and fruit, and unsaturated fats such as olive oil help to lower it. With high triglycerides, sugar, white flour, alcohol and excess calories should be reduced. Losing weight and regular exercise also improve blood fats. In familial high cholesterol and in people at high cardiovascular risk, diet alone may not be enough; the doctor decides whether medicine is needed.
