Overview

Lowering cholesterol with food mostly comes down to less saturated fat and more fiber. This printable sorts everyday foods into eat often, in moderation and limit, based on the NHLBI heart-healthy eating plan and the NHS guide to lowering cholesterol.

The second page lists better fats, fiber foods to add to each meal and the habits that help. Then shop with the grocery list, swap with the chart, borrow from a week of meal ideas and write your results in the cholesterol and blood pressure log.

  • Saturated fat, sorted

    See at a glance which foods to cut back on.

  • Fiber at every meal

    Oats, barley, beans and fruit that fit into your day.

  • Heart-healthy habits

    Activity, sodium and alcohol tips from the NHS and NHLBI.

  • Checkup log

    Total, LDL, HDL, triglycerides and blood pressure in one table.
