hello,
i can understand your concern. Saturated fats are not healthy and are not advisable for people above 50.
Your mother's cholesterol levels are also high. All these increase the risk of heart attacks. I assume your doctor has prescribed medicines like statin for them.
Instead of red meat, i would suggest you to go for fish once or twice a week, give your mother lots of green vegetables. Get a Vitamin D and a bone mass density test done . Depending on the results, supplementation can be given.
Hope i have answered your concern. Have a nice day.
