Eating for healthy cholesterol: common questions
Use the free recipes to make heart-healthy choices practical, from breakfasts to main meals. Focus on your overall eating pattern and the changes you can sustain.
Which foods can support healthy cholesterol?
Vegetables, fruit, wholegrains, legumes and nuts are useful parts of a heart-healthy eating pattern. Foods such as oats and beans provide fibre, while olive oil and nuts offer unsaturated fats.
Should I avoid all fats?
No. Replacing foods high in saturated fat with unsaturated alternatives is more helpful than avoiding all fat. Practical swaps include olive oil in place of butter and nuts in place of some snack foods.
Can changing my diet replace cholesterol medicine?
Diet can support cholesterol management, but whether you need medicine depends on your overall cardiovascular risk. Discuss treatment with your doctor and use nutrition support alongside your care plan.
