How To Lower My Cholesterol Level
Adopting healthy habits, such as eating a healthy, balanced
diet and keeping active, can also help prevent your cholesterol levels becoming
high in the first place.
It's important to keep your cholesterol in check because
high cholesterol levels increase your risk of heart disease and stroke. To
reduce your blood cholesterol, you should cut down on saturated fat and eat
more fibre, including plenty of fruit and vegetables.
Eating too many foods high in saturated fat can raise the level of cholesterol in your blood sharply.
Foods high in saturated fat include:
·
meat pies
·
sausages and fatty cuts of meat
·
butter, ghee and lard
·
cream
·
hard cheeses
·
cakes and biscuits
· foods containing coconut or palm oil
