To naturally lower cholesterol, the most important food choice you can make is to reduce saturated fat and trans fat. That’s straight from the American Heart Association’s article, Prevention and Treatment of High Cholesterol. That article goes on to say that, “Reducing these fats means limiting your intake of red meat and dairy products made with whole milk.”
So what is a burger-loving person with high cholesterol to do? Many people are giving the new plant-based “burgers” a try. And for good reason: In concept the Impossible Burger and Beyond Meat’s ‘Beyond Burger’ seem like a good idea as they are made from plants and have no animal fat.

My friend Lisa makes the perfect summer salad: it’s colorful, crunchy, light and refreshing. Those who don’t love traditional green salads (like me) love it…and those who do love salad love it too. In fact, some of my friends even mixed this crunchy slaw/salad with a green salad!
Crunchy Ramen Cabbage Salad is a great lo-co side dish. It’s heart-healthy as it’s just veggies with cholesterol-lowering almonds and a zippy dressing made with heart-healthy oil. And it’s easy to make AND easy to bring to a picnic or pot luck. Plus if you take the time to slice up red cabbage (which is easier than I imagined) this red salad looks great on a summer table.
I’m honored to announce that Going Lo-Co has won a national communications award!
