A diet high in fruit and seasonal vegetables, as well as high-fibre foods like whole grain can often bring down high blood cholesterol levels to nornal, according to a member of the Professional Association of German Internists (BDI).
Research stated it is important to consume less sugar and fewer simple carbohydrates which are found in lots of apparently healthy processed foods and sweetened yogurt.
It is crucual to reduce consumption of animal fats, as found in sausage and dairy products.
Research points out that blood cholesterol levels are driven less by diet than previously thought.
Much of the cholesterol in blood is produced by the body itself.
Healthy eating habits, weight loss and exercise help reduce blood-fat levels.
Proper lifestyle changes often lower cholesterol in a few weeks, enabling lots of people to go without medication.
