No matter whether cholesterol or triglyceride is too high, patients should eat less oil, especially those with high saturated fatty acids such as lard and butter, and should switch to polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as sunflower oil, soybean oil and corn oil.

People with high cholesterol should eat less foods such as brain, liver, kidney, intestines, egg yolk (no more than two or three per week), crab yolk, pig skin, chicken skin and fish skin, and reduce sweets, because sugar is the raw material for synthesizing cholesterol; As for people with high triglyceride, special attention should be paid not to drink alcohol, coffee or eat fruits with too high sweetness.

Eating more fiber-rich foods, such as vegetables, cereals, seaweed and mushrooms, can help lower cholesterol. In addition, dried beans, oat bran, raw onions, garlic, carrots, apples, avocados, walnuts and saury are also good choices.

In fact, the cholesterol content of seafood is generally not too high. Among them, shrimp, crab, sardines and clams have more cholesterol, but because of their low saturated fatty acid content, their cholesterol-raising effect is not as good as coconut oil and palm oil, which contain less cholesterol but a lot of saturated fatty acids. Moreover, the cholesterol of shrimp and crab seafood is mostly concentrated in the head and yolk. As long as these two parts are removed when eating, too much cholesterol will not be ingested.
