Patients with high cholesterol should eat small amounts of dark-colored lean meat and avoid fried foods. High cholesterol increases the risk of atherosclerosis and is closely related to diseases such as lower limb vascular stenosis, cerebral infarction and coronary heart disease, so medication and diet control are recommended when cholesterol is high, and patients’ cholesterol levels can be controlled by diet and exercise to reach the standard. Cholesterol is mainly synthesized and metabolized in the liver, and 30% of the cholesterol in the blood is ingested through the diet, and patients should pay attention to control the intake of cholesterol-containing diet. Therefore, in addition to controlling fat intake, patients should also pay attention to controlling cholesterol in proteins. For protein foods, the darker the color of the food, the more cholesterol it contains, such as beef, lamb, pork, etc. The lighter the color of the lean meat, the less cholesterol it contains, such as chicken, fish, shrimp, etc. Patients with high cholesterol should eat less dark-colored lean meat, and can eat a little light-colored lean meat appropriately. Animal offal and skin are high in cholesterol and need to be eaten under control. Try to avoid fried and deep-fried foods and snacks with high oil content, such as moon cakes and peach crisp. Patients are advised to eat more vegetables, drink more water to increase satiety, control total calorie intake and review cholesterol levels regularly.
