Mrs. Winslow should eat more whole grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables as these foods are high in soluble fiber and can help lower blood lipids. Consuming less milk and ice cream may also be beneficial as they are high in saturated fats, but it is not the best choice on its own without increasing intake of other beneficial foods. Choosing foods high in insoluble fibers or eating fewer carbohydrates and more high-protein foods are not the best choices for lowering blood lipids. Continuing her current diet is also not the best choice as it may be contributing to her high blood lipid levels.
