14. Butter and Ghee
Butter and Ghee are high in saturated fats that can increase the levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol in your bloodstream. This is especially important to consider if you are at an increased risk of developing heart disease or stroke due to high cholesterol. Replace butter with healthier alternatives such as olive oil, avocado oil, and coconut oil when cooking and baking. When looking for dairy product substitutes, opt for varieties that are low in fat and cholesterol such as skim milk, yogurt, and cheese. These alternatives will help you reduce your overall cholesterol levels, while providing your body with the essential nutrients it needs.
