Foods that worsen the symptoms of high cholesterol are red meat (beef, lamb) including industrially processed meat (e.g. sausage), full-fat dairy products (cream, milk, butter), pastries, sweets, fried foods, oils (especially palm and coconut).
How often should you have your cholesterol checked?
Healthy people get a lipid profile done, depending on their age and family history of high cholesterol. Young people over 18 should have the test every 5 years, men (aged 45 to 65) and women (aged 55 to 65) should have the test every one to two years.
