Too much
cholesterol in a person's diet can lead to too much cholesterol in the blood. Making dietary changes can help reduce or control
cholesterol levels.
A diet for people with high cholesterol contains lots of plant-based products -- such as vegetables and beans -- and few animal-based products (the source of cholesterol). Cinnamon has gained attention lately as a possible remedy for high cholesterol. However, more research is still needed to determine its exact effects.
While changing from a high
cholesterol diet to a healthier eating plan is not always easy, it can offer many health benefits.
