How to lower high cholesterol
If you’re diagnosed with high cholesterol, you’ll usually be recommended lifestyle changes to lower your levels.
“To reduce your cholesterol, try to cut down on fatty food, especially food that contains a type of fat called saturated fat,” advises the NHS.
According to the health body, you can still have foods that contain a healthier type of fat called unsaturated fat.
Saturated fats are found in many foods, both sweet and savoury. Most of them come from animal sources, including meat and dairy products, as well as some plant-based products.
