A diet designed to lower cholesterol will focus on consuming plant-based products (such as vegetables and legumes) and limiting animal-based products. With this type of diet, you should eat at least three to five servings of fruits and vegetables each day. Fruits and vegetables, along with whole grains and legumes, are among the foods that do not contain any cholesterol. Although switching from a high cholesterol diet to a healthier eating plan is not always easy, it can offer many health benefits.
