I do not believe in eating more of certain food will decrease cholesterol / sugar / fat / xxxxx.

But increasing the portion of healthy food AND decreasing unhealthy food - does. So, look into decreasing oil consumption (fried food, diary products, orfals, outside stir fry) and increasing consumption of fibres and oily fish.
And even with all that, that only covers 20-25% of the total cholesterol. Around 75% of cholesterol is produced by the liver, so most importantly, move that butt and EXERCISE.

Hee, hee… in my course of work, when patients hear that they have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high sugars, they are always very interested to know what food to eat. However, the moment i mention exercise, all the patients give me lots of reasons and excuses. I just find it so funny.

thks for the info b2b3m4, i see DH is really scare this time
Doctor told him his cholesterol is way too high and have to take medication, but he prefer to cut down on his own first.
he has been jogging and going to the gym 3-4 times weekly. cut down on sugar drinks and drink more plain water. eat less fried and organ stuff. more veggie and fruit. i also make orange celery juice for him.
he has to go back for review in 3 months time.
btw, wat is ur job?
