The month of Ramadan presents a suitable opportunity to improve dietary habits, especially for those with high cholesterol who need a balanced diet that reduces harmful fats and maintains heart health.

Doctors confirm that fasting can help improve blood lipid levels if the patient adheres to a healthy eating pattern, while excessive consumption of fatty and fried foods can have the opposite effect.

Studies indicate that regular fasting may contribute to lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol, reducing triglycerides, and improving HDL (good) cholesterol levels. However, these benefits largely depend on the type of food consumed during Iftar (breaking the fast) and Suhoor (pre-dawn meal).
