I’m a vegetarian, and my blood pressure is pretty high. I don’t find cholesterol in meat, but other things. What are some foods I should eat more of, and less of? Thanks!

Eat plenty of wholegrains, vegetables, beans, etc. and cut down on the processed or refined foods like white bread and refined sugar. Also, do plenty of exercise.
Dr. Neil Barnard wrote a book about it http://www.nealbarnard.org/diabetes_book.htm
The hosts of VeganFreak radio both had high cholesterol and did a show about it. You can listen to it here: http://veganfreakradio.com/index.php?id=104
Eat less dairy products. That’s where the excess cholesterol is coming from.
Your liver will produce very small amounts of cholesterol, but these aren’t the problem. You need to just cut back on cheese and dairy products. Eat more avocadoes and olive oil. These will help reduce your cholesterol.
Cut back on dairy-eat more whole grains-increase your exercise.
Simple answer? Go vegan! You’ll cut out the colesterol filled dairy products you’re still consuming and you’ll also add a bit more soya protein into your diet which is proven to reduce colesterol (25mg a day is recommended). I’ve been vegan for 2 years and I have to say I’ve lost weight and become a lot healthier in that time.
Take a look at the links given for advice and nutritional information.
Easy, go vegan.
Simple as that.
And make sure to run, a lot.
