What are some tips for getting my cholesterol down?
assistant
1. Eat more plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
2. Reduce your intake of saturated fat, which is found in fatty meats, full-fat dairy products, and fried or processed foods.
3. Increase your intake of soluble fiber from oats, beans, and lentils. Soluble fiber can help reduce cholesterol levels by binding bile acids and removing them from the body.
4. Try to limit your intake of trans fats as these have been linked to increased bad cholesterol levels.
5. Exercise regularly as this can help increase good cholesterol while reducing bad cholesterol.
6. Avoid sugary drinks and other beverages high in sugar and calories as they can contribute to unhealthy weight gain.
