I've been diagnosed with high cholesterol and I'm worried. What can I do to lower it?

You should start by eating a healthy diet that is low in saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol. Try to focus on whole grains, fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and legumes. Additionally, you may want to consider reducing your intake of sugar and sodium as well as increasing your intake of soluble fiber-rich foods such as oatmeal, beans, and lentils. Exercise regularly to help reduce cholesterol levels, and if possible, try to get regular exercise with a personal trainer or join a health club. Finally, talk to your doctor about the best way to manage your cholesterol.
