Cholesterol is produced naturally in the body and has an important role to play in the brain and hormone production. Very little from food. Eating healthily as explained above is of course important.

Low thyroid is often linked to raised cholesterol - have you been CORRECTLY tested ?

Adopt the Mediterranean Diet - whole foods, plant-based. Read more here:

In addition, you must walk daily between 30 and 60 minutes at a brisk pace:

"The cardiovascular benefits of walking are biologically plausible; like other forms of regular moderate exercise, walking improves cardiac risk factors such as cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, vascular stiffness and inflammation, and mental stress. And if cardiac protection and a lower death rate are not enough to get you moving, consider that walking and other moderate exercise programs also help protect against dementia, peripheral artery disease, obesity, diabetes, depression, colon cancer, and even erectile dysfunction."
