Doing so may require lifestyle changes

(HealthDay News) -- Too much dietary cholesterol can lead to high cholesterol levels in the blood, which can be a risk factor for heart disease.

The Cleveland Clinic offers these suggestions to help lower your cholesterol:

Avoid high-fat or fried foods.
When you do eat foods with fat, look for foods with unsaturated, not saturated, fat.
Reduce the amount of red meat that you eat, and eat more fish and poultry.
Get enough soluble fiber by eating plenty of fruits, beans, peas and oats.
Don't eat more than three egg yolks per week.
Get plenty of exercise, maintain a healthy body weight, and stop smoking.
