What should I drink on this meal plan?

For someone following a low cholesterol diet, ideal beverages include green tea, known for its cholesterol-lowering effects, and almond milk as a dairy alternative. Water infused with citrus fruits offers a refreshing taste and extra vitamins. Soy milk is beneficial due to its low saturated fat content. And for a calming drink, chamomile tea is a great choice.

How to get even more nutrients?

For someone focusing on lowering cholesterol individually, it's important to tailor a diet that includes a variety of nutrient-rich foods. Incorporate plenty of fruits and vegetables that are high in fiber and antioxidants. Whole grains like oats and barley can help reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol. For protein, lean sources such as chicken breast or fish that are high in omega-3 fatty acids should be included. Avocado and nuts provide healthy fats that can help manage cholesterol levels effectively.
