Nowadays our standard of living is getting higher and higher, and many fish and meat are being ‘brought to’ our table. But eating these foods often will not only cause vascular disease, but it is also likely to raise cholesterol. If cholesterol is too high, it can cause many problems and is bad for metabolism.
Not all cholesterol in our body is good cholesterol, and it is also divided into high-density and low-density cholesterol. High-density cholesterol can make our blood vessels more energetic, while low-density cholesterol can harden our blood vessels if it is in large amounts for a long time.
How much cholesterol should I consume in my daily life?
For ordinary people, part of our cholesterol is self-sufficient, but 20% needs to be supplemented by food, so we must pay more attention to the cholesterol we consume in general. We need to consume 300g of cholesterol a day, but it may consume it in the process of digestion. If you consume it at 30%, you only need to supplement 600g of cholesterol a day.
You must eat the following top 10 cholesterol ranking foods sparingly!

Doctor’s advice: usually we can do the following three things to make the blood lipid back to normal slowly
Eat more dietary fibre food
We can’t just eat refined grains; we should also eat more coarse grains and eat more food containing dietary fibre. It can promote our intestinal peristalsis, for our body cholesterol has an excellent digestive cleaning effect. For older people, you should eat more fresh fruits and vegetables every day to meet the dietary fibre needs needed in the human body.
Keep exercising
Usually, we should develop a good exercise habit; it can help promote our internal metabolism so that the toxins and rubbish in our blood vessels are more easily discharged from the body and maintain the elasticity of blood vessels, not easy to cause vascular problems.
People with high cholesterol, try drinking lipid-lowering tea
When the cholesterol in our body exceeds the standard, our blood vessels will have many problems. To make our blood vessels healthier, we can try to drink more lipid-lowering tea. In Li Shizhen’s “Compendium of Materia Medica”, it is also recorded that dandelion, barley, Luo Han Guo, lily, jasmine, bitter gourd, honeysuckle, licorice. Mixed and scientifically matched with hot water to drink, it can protect blood vessels and lower blood lipids.
Luo Han Guo: improve constipation, invigorate blood, moisten the lungs, sterilize, anti-inflammatory, reduce swelling, resolve phlegm and cough
Dandelion: cleanses blood vessels of toxins and waste, lowers blood lipids, lowers blood pressure, reduces inflammation and swelling, clears heat and detoxifies
Bitter gourd: clears heat and detoxifies the blood, activates blood pressure, clears blood poisoning.
Many people nowadays who have high cholesterol are not paying attention to it, which may affect our normal metabolism if this goes on for a long time. Complications may even occur, so we must develop a good lifestyle and diet to help our body.
