I have high cholesterol?
Of course. Plants don’t have any cholesterol in them so a plant-based diet is completely cholesterol-free.
Generally speaking, if you have a high blood cholesterol level, it’s due to the food you eat. A plant-based diet, however, will reduce this level within just a few weeks.
If you are taking cholesterol-lowering medication, let your doctor know that you’re switching to a plant-based diet. They may decide to reduce the dosage or to eliminate the medication completely.
