For individuals with elevated cholesterol levels, fried foods should be strictly avoided, as they contain high amounts of trans fatty acids, which can increase blood cholesterol levels. It is recommended to consume more fiber-rich foods, which help gradually lower serum cholesterol and restore it to normal levels. Additionally, increased intake of green leafy vegetables, lean meats, chicken, soy products, and milk is advised.
