Indeed, dietary cholesterol has little influence on the increase in blood cholesterol levels but the saturated fatty acids, Yes. The ones you need really avoid because they are rich in saturated fatty acids (or “trans” just as bad for cholesterol levels) are;

  • THE offal (brains, kidneys, laughs)
  • fish eggs
  • THE red meats
  • the bacon
  • THE butter
  • lard
  • industrial biscuits
  • fried foods; fries, donuts…
  • pastries
  • veganin

On the other hand, other foods rich in cholesterol are nutritionally interesting and should therefore not be excluded if you like them: you can therefore eat one to two eggs per week and/or a plate of shrimp. THE foie gras or duck meat can be consumed on occasion. For have a positive effect on cholesterol levels blood, reduce the consumption of these foods in favor of foods rich in unsaturated fats such as fluid vegetable oils (rapeseed, olive, etc.). All associated with consumption offoods rich in fiber (vegetables, fruits) and regular physical activity.
