Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Multiple lines of evidence indicate that high levels of LDL and cholesterol contribute to atherosclerosis, whilst increased levels of HDL reduce the risk of developing atherosclerosis.
Detailed explanation-2: -Choose foods that are low in saturated fat, trans fat, sodium (salt), and added sugars. These foods include lean meats; seafood; fat-free or low-fat milk, cheese, and yogurt; whole grains; and fruits and vegetables.
Detailed explanation-3: -A reasonable goal for primary prevention using moderate-intensity statin therapy is an LDL-C in the range of 70-99 mg/dL. Both population epidemiology and genetic epidemiology show that low serum cholesterol throughout life will minimize lifetime risk of ASCVD.
