Total cholesterol levels include both good cholesterol as well as bad cholesterol. You need to mention levels of each in order to manage the condition through diet.
Next Steps
Increasing fibre in the diet helps in natural excretion of cholesterol from the body. Smoking does have a effect on the lipid profile too. With regards to being a non-vegetarian, lean meats are high in protein and low in fat.
Health Tips
You can contact me on direct consult to provide more information and get appropriate action points to work towards getting a better lipid profile and dismiss emerging possibilities. Alternatively, you can visit me to get a customised diet chart suiting your needs.
