12 High Cholesterol Foods to Avoid

Desserts

Desserts are delicious, but they contain a lot of cholesterol, added sugars, calories, as well as unhealthy fats. In fact, they lack the necessary nutrients for the body to function properly such as healthy fats, protein, minerals, and vitamins. Consuming these foods regularly would have negative effects on overall health. Weight gain and obesity are more likely, which eventually leads to many other health issues, such as diabetes, heart disease, cognitive decline or high blood pressure. For all of these reasons, make sure to limit the consumption of pastries, ice cream, cakes, cookies, and other sweets in your daily meals. [3]
