Anyone got high cholesterol? What food can help to reduce it?

[sparespares]

diet is the main knob, and exercise is the smaller knob.

start by controlling your diet, here’s my journey:
1. started with half the amount of rice for dinner
2. then move on to just couple of spoonfuls of rice
3. now also started to skip breakfast
4. exercise min 3 times per week, each time at least 30mins. walking counts too.

with all these , I didn’t control my food at other meals, but my cholesterol came down from high to marginal pass.

hope this helps.

Drink fresh coconut water with its flesh (preferably from the fruit itself and not those in cardboard). 1 coconut per day. Once your cholesterol level has stabilized, can move to 1 coconut every 2 days to save money.

Not nice le. I prefer add some chocolate, banana, blackberry and avocado. Top with some honey

Yes. Can top up above too. But i prefer superfood. Its good for health and taste is secondary.

Exercise and less supper.

I always have very borderline cholesterol. And manage to get it in Healthy range after doing the above.

During the 2 yrs of covid, I stop exercise, wfh alot and didn't move much. My cholesterol went even higher than before.

Don't eat any innards food. Intestine is a big no no. Cut down on meat, eat matchbox size meat portion.

Fried chicken contrary to common belief is really damn healthy if fried properly with little processed oil soaked into the skin. Or if the skin is soaked, just remove the skin.

Potato chips is very jialat food. High in processed oil, carbs, acrylamide. This one is avoid at all costs.

Bakwa is unhealthy not because of fats or meat. It's alot of sugar.

Burger if use real cheese and real meat like bacon or pounded beef, and less of the sauce and buns is damn healthy.

Eat fish oil..

Eat hypocol? But not sure is this considered medicine or health supplement.

I don’t drink or smoke and I do exercise compared to my sedentary wife, my rating heart rate is low 60s, I got no hbp so there is no way this is not genetic

BBFA like me got high cholesterol.
Got any food that can help reduce the high cholesterol?

Best is to seek doctor or dietitian advice.

Of course, many of us from the EDMW forum love to provide our unprofessional inputs as well.

I'm previously very high in LDL(5.2 mmol/L) but now improved to 2.8 mmol/L. Took me a few years and make a few wrong and right actions in the process.

Here are what works for me (but might not work for everyone).

1) If one has excess weight, one can try to lose some. Losing 5-20++kg can really improve many health markers, including cholesterol.

2) Saturated fat is well known to increase cholesterol. Don't take my word for it. Read up on all the science publications on it. So avoiding saturated fats is a good way to reduce cholesterol.

3) Can always keep the fats in your diet. Just replace the saturated fats with mono or poly unsaturated fats

4) Avoid processed food like cookies, cakes, snacks. They just contain too much of the unhealthy stuff. Eat snacks if you like, but choose better choices like fruits or nuts. Don't eat them excessively though.

5) Oat is known to help as well. Google for ways to make them delicious. Overnight oats (plain or with fruits or with peanut butter). Or even can make the oats savoury by cooking them, adding meat and egg.

6) Plant sterol helps too. There is a milk powder with plant sterol. Also other products with it too. Google to see what's available.

7) Reduce meat intake. Meat contains cholesterol. No need to totally eliminate, but just reduce the fatty portion. Go for lean meat. That's what I chosen to do. Feel free to ignore if it don't suit you.

Just sharing what works for me. Just my experience in my journey to lower LDL.

Trust me. Exercising is not enough.
I ran 40-50km weekly also cannot bring down my LDL from 4.8 mmol/L.
It's the diet that brought down my LDL to 2.8 mmol/L.

Same experience for me. I brought down the LDL from 5.2 to 2.8 mmol/L. It's the diet that mainly brought the LDL down. Shared what I did above l.

Shared the pic of my reports many times in this forum. So at least it prove this works, at least for my case. YMMV.
