The 40 Best Foods for Lowering Your Cholesterol, According to a Nutritionist (msn.com)

HDL cholesterol (also known as “good” cholesterol) actually sweeps away LDL cholesterol, or what’s commonly referred to as the”bad” kind.

A blood test can determine whether you have high cholesterol, and your doctor may recommend exercise or medication in addition to a healthier diet.
