High Cholesterol

High Cholesterol

For managing high cholesterol in a weight-neutral way, the focus is on improving lipid levels (e.g., LDL, HDL, and triglycerides) through lifestyle changes:

• Increasing soluble fiber through foods like oats, beans, and fruits, which help lower LDL cholesterol.

• Choosing healthy fats such as those found in olive oil, avocados, and nuts, while reducing trans fats and saturated fats.

• Regular physical activity to improve cholesterol ratios and overall heart health, independent of weight loss.

• Avoiding processed foods and excessive sugar to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress.
