Eating oily fish at least once a week can help keep cholesterol in check. Oily fish such as herring, sardines, salmon, trout and fresh tuna are the richest source of omega-3 fats.

Omega-3 fat is a particular type of fatty acid fat that can help to reduce fatty deposits in the blood, prevent blood clots and regulate the heartbeat.

Foods high in soluble fibre such as porridge, beans, pulses, lentils, nuts, fruits and vegetables can also help lower cholesterol.
