Cholesterol can be high even if you do not eat meat, due to oily food, low activity, or a family tendency. Focus on a healthy diet with more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and include omega-3-rich foods like flaxseeds, while avoiding fried and processed foods. Regular exercise, weight control, and good sleep also help in lowering cholesterol. Cholesterol tablets are generally safe when taken as advised, so do not stop them on your own and speak with your doctor if you have concerns.
