Hi Christina,

 

You can learn more about using diet to lower cholesterol at this link

In addition, try to replace saturated and trans fats in your diet with heart healthy unsaturated fats (ex. olive oil, canola oil, nuts, avocado, etc.), boost your omega-3 fat intake (ex. oily fish), work on eating lots of fiber (oats, barley, fruit, vegetables, beans, nuts, psyllium husk, flaxseed, etc.) and plant-sterol rich foods (ex. nuts, beans, avocado, olive oil, etc.).

 

Best Regards,

Karen McPartland, RD
