I just had a Lipids panel taken and my LDL cholesterol levels were a bit high

I'm quite surprised since my intake of foods high in cholesterol and trans fats has been minimal in the last 6 months

According to Bard soluble fibers and plant sterols help reduce it. I do eat these but might have to eat more 🤷‍♂️

I'm pretty sure that dietary cholesterol doesn't increase blood cholesterol in humans. Feel free to correct me, but I think every study that indicates that was done in rabbits, and humans can't actually digest significant amounts of cholesterol

Interested in ZK, FHE, system design, ai safety, hardware, and smart contact security.

I'm not super educated about it so take what I say with a grain of salt. But as far as I know the best way to reduce blood cholesterol is to lower saturated fat intake (shouldn't be eating trans fats at all, probably) unsaturated fats seem to be healthier overall

I'm clueless about this so I'm all ears :)

I just want to keep that number in check.
