Foods That Reduce Cholesterol by Sharksblow(m): 4:10pm On Dec 04, 2014
All these foods help in fighting bad cholesterol.
According to the American Heart Association,
‘You can reduce cholesterol in your blood by
eating healthy foods’. So, here we are today with
our list of top 1cholesterol fighting foods.

Oats: If you change your morning meal to oats
then you can do your cholesterol level a whole lot
of good. Do note that two servings of oats can
lower LDL cholesterol by 5.3 per cent in only six
weeks. Essentially, oats contain a substance
called beta-glucan which absorbs bad cholesterol.

Red wine: Here’s yet another reason to toast to
your health. The red grapes used in the
manufacturing of red wine have an important
effect on cholesterol levels. Two glasses of red
wine in a week can do you a whole lot of good.

Salmon and fatty Fish: Full of Omega-3 fatty
acids, salmon is a natural health wonder, which
helps in keeping heart conditions such as heart
attacks, stroke and high cholesterol levels at bay.
Fishes such as salmon, sardines and herring help
in raising good cholesterol levels by four per
cent.

Nuts: Mono-unsaturated fats (found in nuts, seeds
etc.) have the lowest fatty acid molecules and are
the best of the three fats, namely poly-saturated
fats, saturated fats and mono-unsaturated fats.
Nuts are the best way to get those required
healthy fats into your body without feeling guilty.
Since the fats that come from nuts are natural and
are not chemically processed, this makes them
heart healthy, filling, and nutritious options.

Beans: Excellent for the heart, ½ a cup of beans
added in our diet (in the form of any dish or
soup), helps in lowering cholesterol levels by
eight per cent. You should try black, kidney, or
pinto beans; each one of them supplies about
one-third of your day’s fiber needs.
