Cholesterol

Cholesterol itself causes no symptoms. It matters because of what it does to arteries over decades, which is why it is treated on numbers rather than on how you feel.

What actually helps
  • Plant sterols at a proper daily dose with a meal, which lower LDL modestly.
  • Soluble fibre — oats, legumes, psyllium — which is cheap and genuinely works.
  • Oily fish or omega-3, mainly for triglycerides rather than LDL.
  • Knowing your numbers, and re-testing to see whether what you changed actually moved them.
