To lower LDL cholesterol, he should eat a balanced plant-based diet. He needs to limit commercially prepared baked goods, snack items, and fried foods to decrease trans fat intake. He should consume plenty of foods providing soluble fiber, such as oats and legumes. Drinking a moderate amount of alcohol may help reduce the risk of heart disease in middle-aged and older adults. Regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight can also help lower LDL cholesterol concentrations and raise HDL cholesterol concentrations. If he smokes, he should quit.
