Include plenty of fibre rich foods which will help in lowering cholesterol like oats, oat bran, apples, guava, citrus fruits, raw vegetable salads etc. Prefer low fat dairy products and avoid full cream milk, butter, clarified butter. Use refined vegetable oil for cooking like oilve oil, canola, rice bran oil etc and limit its use to not more than 3-4 teaspoons in a day per person. Hope these suggestions will help.
