My mother in law needs to lower her cholesterol, she’s 59, and afraid to take the prescription drugs because of side effects.
Are there any specific foods she could or should eat?
She’s already stopped eating cheese and fatty meats, but is there any other foods really high in cholesterol that isn’t widely known that she she also avoid?
Some one mentioned flaxseed oil, does that really work?
Flax seed is supposed to work but I haven’t ever heard of a doctor recommending it. Cut back on eggs or just eat the whites. As cheesy as it sounds, have her eat Cheerios once a day to lower her cholesterol because this does work.
Most of it is not over the counter remedies, but rather diet changes. Less fat, sugar, and sodium
