Frequently asked questions
Can diet lower cholesterol without medication?
For many people, changing what they eat lowers LDL cholesterol meaningfully: more soluble fibre from oats and legumes, nuts, olive oil and fish in place of saturated and trans fats. How much it falls depends on your starting point and genetics. Whether medication is also needed is a decision for your doctor based on your tests.
Which foods raise blood pressure the most?
Salt is the main dietary driver: processed meats, cheese, bread, pickles, ready meals and restaurant food supply most of it. Alcohol and a low intake of potassium-rich vegetables and fruit also matter. Reducing salt gradually and eating in a Mediterranean or DASH pattern usually produces a measurable drop within weeks.
Can I still eat eggs if I have high cholesterol?
For most people, moderate egg consumption has little effect on blood cholesterol; saturated fat, trans fat and overall diet quality matter more. People with diabetes or very high LDL may be advised differently. The amount that suits you is set according to your blood tests and your doctor's assessment, not a general rule.
Can I stop my blood pressure or cholesterol tablets once my diet improves?
Only your doctor can decide that, based on repeat measurements over time. Nutrition changes support treatment and sometimes allow doses to be reviewed, but stopping medication on your own can be risky. Bring your results to both your doctor and your dietitian so decisions are made with the full picture.
What does a cholesterol and blood pressure nutrition programme involve?
It starts with a review of your blood tests, medication list, eating pattern and activity. You then receive a realistic plan built around foods you already like, with clear swaps for saturated fat and salt, and follow-up visits to track results. Cardiovascular nutrition counselling in Beylikdüzü works alongside your doctor's treatment.
