11Shellfish
Many types of shellfish, such as shrimp, crab, clams, and fish, are great sources of selenium, iron, vitamins, and protein. However, you need to limit the consumption of these foods if you want to reduce the amount of cholesterol in the body. On average, a serving of 85 grams of shrimp contains approximately 165 milligrams of cholesterol, which is equivalent to more than 50 percent of the recommended daily intake for cholesterol. The way you prepare and cook these foods can also contribute to the surge in cholesterol. It is suggested to avoid unhealthy methods such as grilling, frying, or dipping in melted butter and oil. By doing this, you can reduce the risk of inflammatory activities, diabetes, and heart disease. [11]
