3. Full-Fat Dairy Products
Full-fat dairy products, such as whole milk, cream, butter, and cheese, are high in saturated fats, which can raise blood cholesterol levels. As part of a healthy diet, it is best to limit or avoid foods that are high in saturated fat, such as full-fat dairy products. Try to choose reduced-fat or nonfat dairy products whenever possible.
Some alternatives include low-fat milk, nonfat yogurt, nonfat sour cream, and reduced-fat cheese. Additionally, swapping out butter for a healthier alternative such as olive oil or a plant-based spread can help to reduce your cholesterol levels.
