Answer:

Whole wheat pasta tossed in olive oil with veggies and tofu

Step-by-step explanation:

Triglycerides and cholesterol are lipids and their higher concentration in the body leads to cardiovascular diseases. Food items rich in lipids such as potatoes, chocolates, cheese, French fries, etc. should be avoided by a person having higher triglycerides and cholesterol levels to prevent the development of any heart disease. Similarly, whole grains rich in fibers that remove the fats from the body, vegetables rich in natural fibers, vitamins, and minerals and almost devoid of fats, protein-rich tofu should be preferred to maintain good health.
