Cholesterol

Cholesterol is an indispensable lipid for the human body, but if LDL (bad) cholesterol is too high, it can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Tan Dun-Ci points out that to control bad cholesterol, one should first manage weight, reduce intake of processed foods, and increase dietary fiber. In terms of diet, it's recommended to replace some red meat with fish, and also choose oils rich in monounsaturated fatty acids as a direction for daily dietary adjustments.
