Both oils are safe in moderate use. If your report shows high cholesterol or fatty liver, olive oil may be a better choice. It is good that you are mindful of these small dietary steps.

Hi. I have recently done my LFT test and found that my cholesterol is high. After seeing this report, I am a little worried and do not know what to do. I am attaching my report. Please suggest what I can do to reduce cholesterol. I live in a mess, so food is not fully under my control, but I am trying to avoid non vegetarian food. Please advise.

Sir, good morning. As per my current blood report, my triglycerides have reached 200. I want to reduce them below 160. Please prescribe medicine and suggest a diet. I am exercising regularly. I have to go for a medical test within 10 days, so I need to reduce triglycerides in this period. Except for triglycerides, all other tests are normal. Thank you.
