Summary Introduction

To examine: Whether the statement “Eating high-fiber foods a few times a week will help lower her LDL cholesterol” is true or false.

Introduction: Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is a type of cholesterol produced by liver in our body. It has a role in the synthesis of cell walls, digestive enzymes, and hormones. However, elevated levels of LDL in the blood can result in the formation of a plaque like substance in the cardiovascular system by leading to the blocked arteries and increased risk of stroke and heart attack.
