About the Case Presentation

Nutrition therapy plays a pivotal role in managing dyslipidemia by improving lipid profiles and reducing cardiovascular risks. A heart-healthy diet emphasizes the intake of unsaturated fats (found in fish, nuts, seeds, and olive oil) while limiting saturated and trans fats. Soluble fiber, from sources like oats, beans, and fruits, helps lower LDL cholesterol. Incorporating plant sterols and stanols, along with omega-3 fatty acids, supports lipid regulation. Limiting added sugars and refined carbohydrates is crucial for maintaining healthy triglyceride levels. Paired with physical activity and weight management, personalized nutrition interventions can significantly improve lipid control and overall heart health.
