Frequently asked questions
What is the best diet to lower cholesterol?
A pattern rich in vegetables, wholegrains, legumes, nuts and healthy fats, lower in saturated fat and refined carbs — the DASH and Mediterranean patterns both work well. A dietitian tailors this to your labs and Malaysian food preferences.
Can diet really lower my blood pressure?
Yes. The DASH eating pattern, with reduced sodium, can lower systolic blood pressure meaningfully — comparable to some medications for some people. Never stop prescribed medication without your doctor.
What foods should I avoid with high blood pressure?
Mainly high-sodium foods — instant noodles, salty sauces (soy sauce, belacan, budu), processed and preserved foods — plus sugary drinks. We show you lower-sodium local swaps.
Do I need to stop eating Malaysian food?
No. We adapt local meals rather than replace them — brown rice, fish, ulam, herbs and spices instead of extra salt make heart-healthy eating realistic.
