1. Diet – Do not consume fatty products (such as ice cream, fatty sweets, fast food pizza) There was a report recently that French fries are very bad for your body as they contain large amounts of saturated fats. If you think you are craving to eat something sweet, eat fruits. Also eat a lot of vegetables. If you need to eat meat, eat fish (not chicken, crab). Fish has oils (HDL) which lower blood cholesterol levels and therefore is good for you. Cook food in canola or olive oil. As these are polyunsaturated oils, they help lower cholesterol levels. Consult a dietician for an individualized diet advice.\n2. Exercise – Exercise regularly. Join a weight reduction programme at a hospital also and very religiously attend it. Furthermore, reducing abdominal fat significantly lowers your risk of disease in the future (so do 50 proper sit-ups everyday).\n3. Medicine -The lipid (fat) lowering drugs if prescribed need to be taken apropriately. If you have forgotten what the dose was, consult a doctor and have a cholesterol check periodically. These lipid (fat) lowering drugs are only known to work with dietary changes. They are very effective and are known to reduce mortality by 30-40%, and therefore it is very worth while taking them properly.\n4. The website of British heart foundation may give more valuable tips. http://www.heartstats.org/homepage.asp copy\n5. Have regular health check ups, depending on what your doctor says. Prevention is always better than a cure.

Yes, sweet potatoes and any vegetable or fruit high in fiber (celery, apples, bananas, collard greens, etc.) will lower cholesterol, in addition to eating lean meats.

Sure you will. Just keep a moderate well balanced diet. Heck, you can actually eat Bacon, real butter and Rib-eye steaks. But, moderation is the key. Most people are lead to believe these mentioned foods are bad for you. This how people like me keep the Demand low and thus price down so, we enjoy the good food and everyone else buy the lesser nutritious. Basic supply and demand economics. The link will help, I just use Butter and better cuts of meat. Up the HDL's and they lower the LDL's. The good eliminate the bad, just how nature work, without pills.

Walking and taking an exercise regime is most important in lowering Cholestrol level. Anxiety/stress reduction is another aspect which should be looked to lower one's cholestrol level. The followings is recommendation on food items:\n\n\nCholesterol Lowering Foods \n \nCholesterol lowering foods - this may sound as an oxymoron! However, studies prove that some foods can assist in the reduction of cholesterol and could be incorporated into your new diet plan.\n\nCholesterol Lowering Margarine\n\nRecently, cholesterol lowering margarines have been introduced to the market. Benecol® is one of the products that has been confirmed to lower cholesterol on an average of 10% if used as recommended. In addition, this margarine does not affect your HDL, or "good" cholesterol. Other products include Take Control® margarine and salad dressings that are made from plant sterols, which are extracted from soybeans. These sterols trick your intestine into thinking they are cholesterol and when it tries to absorb them, it is not able to, therefore blocking cholesterol.\n\nSoy Protein\n\nCholesterol lowering quality of soy protein was evidenced when FDA approved (see FDA talk paper) the health claim for its effects on risk of heart disease. To achieve intended result, you have to consume at least four servings of 6.25 grams of soy protein totaling daily intake to 25 grams per day. Many food manufacturers have since introduced soy beverages and energy bars containing up to 10 to 20 grams of soy protein. People with high cholesterol - levels of 260-300, soy protein has shown to reduce cholesterol by 15-25%.\n\nNuts\n\nNuts such as almonds and walnuts that have high amount of monounsaturated or polyunsaturated, also help lowering cholesterol. Researchers at the Loma Linda University found that a diet containing pecans (click here for Abstract) not only lowered total and LDL--or "bad" cholesterol significantly but also helped to maintain desirable levels of HDL--or "good"--cholesterol. Another study conducted by the same University found that Mediterranean style diet that included walnuts (click here for Abstract) lowered cholesterol.\n\nOats and Barley\n\nIn lowering cholesterol, oats and barley have played a critical role. These foods have a soluble fiber known as Beta Glucan, which is the key, in how they lower the cholesterol. To gain the intended cholesterol lowering effect, you have to consume anywhere between two and four cups of dry oat or barley cereal each day.\n\nFruits and Vegetables\n\nFruits and vegetables such as apples, citrus fruit, berries, carrots, apricots, cabbage, sweet potatoes are high in soluble fiber and pectin both shown to be helpful in lowering cholesterol. At least five servings a day is recommended to benefit the full effect.\n\nFlaxseed\n\nFlaxseed provides alpha-linolenic acid a poly-unsaturated fat which has been shown to lower cholesterol while providing needed soluble fiber.\n\nOlive Oil\n\nOlive oil is one of the mono-saturated fats and studies have shown that it lowers blood cholesterol. Extra virgin olive oil is suggested to be better than other varieties.\n\nFish\n\nAccording to researchers, fish containing a omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids make the blood more slippery and less likely to clot in addition to lowering blood cholesterol.\n\nCautions:\n\nInstead of frying foods, bake, roast, or grill. Cut back on egg yolks and if you drink 2% milk change to 1% and if possible, skim milk.

Department of Health and Human Services\nFood and Drug Administration\n5600 Fishers Lane (HFI-40)\nRockville, MD 20857\nJune 1998\n(FDA) 98-1247 1\nLosing Weight Safely\n\nThe Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, is part of the United States Government. FDA requires most food labels to list the amount of important nutrients the food gives you. Use food labels to choose healthy foods for losing weight.\nIf You're Overweight, Slim Down for Better Health\n\nOverweight people have an increased risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and other illnesses. Losing weight reduces the risk. This brochure tells you how to lose weight safely.\nAsk Your Doctor About Sensible Goals\n\nYour doctor or other health worker can help you set sensible goals based on a proper weight for your height, build and age.\n\nMen and very active women may need up to 2,500 calories daily. Other women and inactive men need only about 2,000 calories daily. A safe plan is to eat 300 to 500 fewer calories a day to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week.\nExercise 30 Minutes\n\nDo at least 30 minutes of exercise, like brisk walking, most days of the week.\n\nThe idea is to use up more calories than you eat. You need to use up the day's calories and some of the calories stored in your body fat.\nEat Less Fat and Sugar\n\nThis will help you cut calories. Fried foods and fatty desserts can quickly use up a day's calories. And these foods may not provide the other nutrients you need.\nTips for Cutting Calories and Fat\n\n    * Eat plenty of vegetables, fruits, and grain products like bread and rice.\n    * Eat only small, single servings of foods high in fat or calories.\n    * Eat less sugar and fewer sweets.\n    * Drink less alcohol or no alcohol.\n    * Choose foods whose labels say low, light or reduced to describe calories or fat.\n    * Choose 1 percent or skim milk products and reduced fat cheeses.\n    * Replace ice cream with fat-free frozen yogurt.\n    * Replace sour cream with fat-free or low-fat plain yogurt.\n    * Make sure fish, poultry and meat are lean. Trim skin and fat.\n    * Broil, roast or steam foods.\n\nEat a Favorite Rich Food, Sometimes\n\nThat may keep you from craving it. But eat only a small amount.\n\nMake sure your other foods that day are low in fat and calories.\nEat a Wide Variety Of Foods\n\nVariety in the diet helps you get all the vitamins and other nutrients you need.\nWatch Out for Promises of Quick And Easy Weight Loss\n\nFad diets aren't good because they often call for too much or too little of one type of food. As a result, you may not get important nutrients you need daily.\n\nRemember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't true.\nWhat About Diet Pills?\n\nDiet pills you buy without a prescription won't make a big difference in how much you lose each week or how long you keep the weight off. If you do use them, read the label carefully. Because of possible side effects, like high blood pressure, never take more than the listed dose.\n\nAlso, be careful about taking cough or cold medicines with diet pills you buy without a prescription. These medicines may contain the same drug used in diet pills, or a similar drug with the same effects. If you take both products together, you may get too much of the same type drug. This can hurt you.\n\nBefore taking a cough or cold medicine while using diet pills, ask your pharmacist if it's OK.\n\nPrescription diet pills may help some people. If you use them, follow the doctor's directions carefully.\nBefore Signing Up For a Weight Loss Program, Ask Questions\n\nDoes the Company:\n\n    * Explain possible health risks from weight loss?\n    * Explain all costs?\n    * Include weight control over a long time?\n    * Have proof of success, not just praise by other people?\n    * Give a clear, truthful statement of how you're going to lose weight, including how much and how fast?\n    * Teach how to eat healthfully and exercise more?\n\nDo you have

your body can convert any fat into cholesterol, whether or not it is vegetable or animal fat\n\nEat what you like, fish is good for you but only in moderation - sea food contains mercury and other heavy metals, try salmon instead

Eat whole grains and avoid fat and when you do have fat make it a good oil like canola oil or olive oil.  Eat more fish but not fried.  Eat skinless chicken.  Use fat free salad dressing.  Eat more dryed beans with whole grain for protein.  Avoid cheese and use low fat alternative if possible.  Avoid chips unless they are baked.  \nMy friend did weight watchers for 3 months and brought her cholesterol down over a hundred points and her ratio was better so if you have a few pounds to loose that would be a great place to learn about healthy eating.  They have books to help you shop and eat out too.\nExercise helps cholesterol especially your ratio.\nOrganic skim milk tastes soooo much better than regular skim.  You should also avoid ground beef and if you do eat it by the kind that is 95% fat free.
