  • We've all heard of the cholesterol, and most of us probably have a pretty negative connotation associated with it. After all, we generally only hear about it when it reaches levels that are problematic.

The article from MSN outlines 22 foods that experts recommend avoiding or limiting to manage cholesterol levels effectively. These foods are high in saturated fats, trans fats, and cholesterol, which can elevate LDL (bad cholesterol) and increase the risk of heart disease. The list includes items like fatty cuts of meat, processed meats, full-fat dairy products, butter, lard, cream, and certain oils like palm and coconut oil. Additionally, it advises against consuming fried foods, fast foods, baked goods made with trans fats, and snacks like chips and cookies. The article also mentions to watch out for hidden fats in sauces, dressings, and even some types of seafood like shrimp due to their high cholesterol content. Instead, the experts suggest opting for lean proteins, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and using healthier fats like olive oil to improve cholesterol health.
