Cholesterol is a waxy substance that is found in all cells of the body. It is essential for many bodily functions, including the production of hormones, vitamin D, and bile. However, high levels of cholesterol can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.
There are two types of cholesterol: LDL (bad) cholesterol and HDL (good) cholesterol. LDL cholesterol is the type that can build up in the arteries and cause plaque, which can narrow the arteries and block blood flow. HDL cholesterol helps to remove LDL cholesterol from the arteries and protect against heart disease.
The best way to lower your cholesterol is to eat a healthy diet that is low in saturated fat and cholesterol. Saturated fat is found in animal products, such as meat, poultry, and dairy products. Cholesterol is also found in animal products, as well as in some plant-based foods, such as eggs and avocados.
There are many foods that can help to lower cholesterol. These foods include:
- Fruits and vegetables
- Whole grains
- Legumes
- Nuts and seeds
- Fish
- Olive oil
Eating a diet that is rich in these foods can help to lower your cholesterol and reduce your risk of heart disease.
