Among these, Cottage Cheese (Paneer) has the highest cholesterol and saturated fat. Potato, cauliflower, and mushroom have zero cholesterol they are plant based. Paneer (low fat) can be eaten in moderation: about 50 to 75 gm/day if cholesterol is normal. Avoid frying steam, grill, or stir fry with minimal oil.

Question

On 25 October, some of my blood report values were high. I want to do blood tests for cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, and homocysteine.

One month back, I experienced a blackout while sitting in a bus. The doctor prescribed medicine after seeing high cholesterol: ROSEDAY 10. The doctor advised me to revisit after one month with an echo, lipid profile, and HUTT test. I am fine now. Please advise what I should do next?
