Lifestyle

LDL cholesterol can be lowered by through dietary intervention by limiting foods with saturated fat and avoiding foods with trans fat. Saturated fats are found in meat products (including poultry), full-fat dairy, eggs, and refined tropical oils like coconut and palm. However, trans fat can still be found in red meat and dairy products as it is produced in small amounts by ruminants such as sheep and cows. LDL cholesterol can also be lowered by increasing consumption of soluble fiber and plant-based foods.
