Unfortunately, as the BHF notes, familial hypercholesterolemia can’t be cured through diet alone but there are dietary principles that can help and these also apply to people who do not have familial hypercholesterolemia but have high cholesterol levels.
There are several foods which are not just part of a healthy diet, they can actively help to lower your cholesterol too.
According to cholesterol charity Heart UK, cutting down on saturated fat and replacing some of it with unsaturated fats is a great way to lower your cholesterol.
Rich sources of unsaturated fat include:
- vegetable oils such as olive, sunflower, corn, rapeseed, nut and seed oils
- Avocado, nuts and seeds
- Fat spreads made from vegetable oils, such as sunflower and olive Oil
- Oily fish.
