  1. Cholesterol Diet Plan

  2. Choose Healthy Fats: Opt for sources of healthy fats, such as avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil. These fats can help improve cholesterol levels by increasing the levels of HDL (good) cholesterol and reducing LDL (bad) cholesterol. Increase Fiber Intake: Include plenty of soluble fiber in your diet, as it can help lower LDL cholesterol levels. Foods rich in soluble fiber include oats, barley, legumes, fruits, and vegetables. Aim for at least 25-30 grams of fiber per day. Limit Saturated and Trans Fats: Minimize your intake of saturated and trans fats, as they can raise LDL cholesterol levels. Avoid fried foods, processed snacks, fatty meats, full-fat dairy products, and commercially baked goods. Opt for lean meats, low-fat dairy, and healthier cooking methods like baking, grilling, or steaming.

  3. Include Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Incorporate foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines), flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts. Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to reduce triglyceride levels and lower the risk of heart disease. • Eat Plant Sterols: Foods fortified with plant sterols or stanols can help lower LDL cholesterol. Look for products like margarine, orange juice, and yogurt that contain added plant sterols. Consume them regularly as part of a balanced diet. • Regular Physical Activity: Engage in regular aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking, cycling, or swimming. Physical activity can help raise HDL cholesterol levels and improve overall cardiovascular health. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week.
