Pay attention to which aspects when total cholesterol and LDL are high
Disease description:
My father went to the hospital for a checkup and found that his cholesterol levels are slightly high. Are there any ways to lower cholesterol? I'd like to know what aspects should be paid attention to when total cholesterol and LDL are elevated.

Elevated total cholesterol and high LDL levels require attention to whether there are conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity, or smoking. It is recommended to consume more foods rich in vitamins and dietary fiber, such as spinach, Chinese chives, celery, bananas, and apples. Take simvastatin orally before bedtime for lipid-lowering effects, follow a low-fat, low-oil diet, and limit egg yolk intake. Avoid greasy foods in daily meals, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and drink plenty of warm water.
