How one can get rid of hypercholesterolemia?

Question

Hello doctor,

I recently discovered that I have high cholesterol and I am trying to make some dietary modifications. Can you explain how hypercholesterolemia affects my health and how food can help me manage it? I am especially curious about milk—should I avoid it, or are there particular types that are better for a balanced diet?

Kindly suggest.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I just read your query and understand your concern. Diet has a significant role in the management of hypercholesterolemia. The following dietary recommendations are recommended to limit your oil intake. Rather than focusing on the type of oil, the overall amount should be lowered. I prefer to use unsaturated oils like olive oil. sesame oil, sunflower oil, and canola oil. Reduce butter, ghee, coconut oil, and palm oil. Remember, the overall amount of oil needs to be lowered. Avoid fried foods. Reduce your consumption of red meat in non-vegetarian meals. I favor white meats such as chicken and fish. Try to make skinny cuts. Do exercise for at least 30 minutes per day.

I hope that you got your answer.

Please let me know if you want some help.

Follow up after four weeks.

Regards.
