Avoid eating red meat and diary products. Eat more green leaves, vegetables, white meat like fish, chicken breast and turkey, whole grain bread.
Also, you may need to take cholesterol lowering medications such Atorvastatin to lower cholesterol levels.
If your thyroid is low you may may need to take levothyroxine to normalize thyroid hormones and it will lower cholesterol too.
Taking folic acid and eating green leaves vegetables may increase platelets count.
