What are some diet and lifestyle changes she could make to manage her cholesterol level?

The research on what should be done seems conflicting (mainstream medicine has been telling people to eat low fat diet, but turns out cholesterol in doesn't result in high serum cholesterol, and low fat diet has its own negative health implications, etc.) and frequently changing.

try cutting down on high cholesterol foods such as meat, dairy and eggs
especially bad is butter and red meat
>>
Even if her BMI is normal she likely has high BF%. Have her do normie tier bedroom strength training and jogging

>high cholesterol
>carbs

Is everyone here this retarded? Cholesterol is in animal products and coconut oil.

Go wfpb vegan diet. no salt, no sugar, no oil. Cholesterol will be normal/good in a couple of weeks. Stay on the diet 99% of the time, or cholesterol will get high.

Or, take statins, risk the long list of side effects and live a shorter, sickly life.

Those are her only two options.

Dietary cholesterold has nothing to do with blood cholesterol levels, which are actively reflective of blood lipid concentration.

Less saturated fat and cholesterol, more fiber

Blame journalists for misrepresenting the science and confusing people for the sake of an attractive headline.

Not true.

>Carefully controlled metabolic studies have shown that high-cholesterol intakes cause moderate increases in serum cholesterol levels. It is been difficult to verify this in population studies because of confounding factors. Nonetheless, meta-analysis of controlled studies documents a cholesterol-raising action of dietary cholesterol

Lol kys veggienigger , mmmm eat no animuls and salt is the debbil!

Drop the animal products, retard. The science isn't a "meme"

When we feed lab animals their usual feed but with more cholesterol their LDL and HDL doesn't go up. A meta analysis of shitty survey studies with data correction up the ass to try to decouple cholesterol intake from obesity and lack of exercise doesn't convince me that it's radically different in humans.

Link?

That's not at all how those studies are conducted. People are put in a metabolic ward where their diets are entirely controlled by the scientists doing the experiment. It's the most rigorous way you could test it.

Nutritional scientists are hacks and the joke of the biotech industry. Populated by scientists too shitty to secure grants that can fund experiments more complicated than "what can we feed B6 mice to make them less fat"

Refined carbohydrates and very high (70%+E) total carbohydrate diets can increase remnant cholesterol, but I doubt that describes your situation or even if that was specifically measured.

Dietary cholesterol alone is unlikely to produce hypercholesterolemia unless you have a sterol absorption disorder, yes, but it is a contributing factor. Similarly, living in an area with a lot of air pollution isn't going to give you the kind of lung cancer sentence pack smoking will, but it still elevates risk.

Mainstream medicine recommends a moderate (20-35%E), predominantly polyunsaturated, fat diet. That said, you are a complete retard asking 4chan for medical advice.

There are a few major lifestyle changes you can make that significantly impact your lipid profile.

1. Weight loss. This is the biggest one.
2. Exercise. Even without weight loss, LISS several times a week improves lipid profile, mostly by increasing your HDL.
3. High fiber diet. Decreases your LDL.
4. Low sugar diet. Decreases your triglycerides.

But this is all shit you should be doing anyway, and almost nobody actually does.
