Try cutting out foods that are high in saturated and trans fats, replacing them with foods high in healthy fats to help lower cholesterol. Substituting coldwater fish for red meat, two to three times per week, can reduce intake of saturated fats and provide a healthy dose of Omega-3 fats. Walnuts are also a good source of Omega-3's, and a handful a day can lower cholesterol up to five percent. Olive oil contains both Omega-3 fats and Omega-6 fats which can lower "bad" LDL cholesterol and raise "good" HDL cholesterol. Try two tablespoons daily as a substitute for butter or shortening when cooking.
