Therefore, you should limit the intake of foods with high cholesterol content, such as fish roe, egg yolks of various eggs, and liver, kidney, heart, and brain of various carnivorous animals.

3. It is best to cook food by steaming, boiling, stewing and braising. Avoid eating large amounts of stir-fried, deep-fried, roasted, grilled, smoked and pickled food.
