Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels are below normal. If this is caused by lipid-lowering medication, the medication may be discontinued under a physician’s guidance. Dietary adjustments should include low-sodium, low-fat, low-sugar, and low-cholesterol intake, emphasizing light, balanced, and nutritious meals. Avoid spicy, stimulating, or greasy foods. Ensure adequate rest, minimize late-night activities, and maintain sufficient sleep.
