My husband has very high cholesterol, namely the total cholesterol is 320 and the bad one is 831. What diet should he follow? He is 43 years old, weighs 110 kg and is 178 tall.
The husband should reduce the weight first of all. Losing weight will lower your cholesterol levels. It is also important that he removes hydrogenated fats, trans fat and excess saturated fat from the diet. Mainly heat-treated meat, meat fried in vegetable oils, not intended for frying or with a high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids, e.g. sunflower oil, fatty sausages, sausages, blue cheeses, yellow cheeses, etc.
It is worth taking care of a greater proportion of fish, pods, nuts, seeds, olive oil. Vegetables, fruits and whole grains are also extremely important as sources of fiber. However, simple sugars such as sweets, bars, chocolates, cakes and confectionery should be eliminated.
