My mother has borderline high cholesterol. Is there a specific type or brand of cooking oil she should use, and what steps should we take to manage her cholesterol levels?

Asked by Female, 60 · 17 days ago

For borderline high cholesterol, use oils rich in unsaturated fats, such as extra virgin olive oil, canola oil, or sunflower oil, while avoiding butter, lard, and coconut oil. To manage her levels effectively, follow these simple steps: Diet: Increase soluble fibre (oats, beans, fruits) and limit trans fats and processed foods. Activity: Encourage 30 minutes of moderate exercise, like brisk walking, daily. Monitor: Schedule routine check-ups with her doctor to track progress. Borderline levels are very common and highly manageable with these positive lifestyle adjustments, so there is no need to worry.
