Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mrs. Winslow should eat more whole grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables as these foods are high in fiber which can help to lower blood lipids. Drinking less milk and consuming less ice cream may help reduce saturated fat intake, but it may not be enough to significantly lower blood lipids without increasing fiber intake. Foods high in insoluble fibers may aid digestion but do not have a proven impact on blood lipids. Eating fewer carbohydrates and choosing more high-protein foods may lower blood lipids in some people but may also increase saturated fat intake. Limiting alcohol intake may have some health benefits but is not directly linked to improving blood lipids.
