A Few Tips To Help Reduce Bad Cholesterol
August 25th, 2008One of the things you can do to start reducing your bad cholesterol is having a healthy breakfast every day. One of the easiest ways to slip soluble fiber into your diet is with a breakfast of oats. Oatmeal or oat bran is a very good way to reduce your bad cholesterol levels. Ten grams a day of soluble fiber is what you should aim for.
Also, some cooking oils such as palm and coconut oil are bad for you. If you’re working at reducing cholesterol then switching to healthier oil will help do this. Olive oil has been talked about for some time now as the healthiest vegetable oil out there. Two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in your daily diet can help to lower bad cholesterol levels while leaving your good cholesterol levels intact.
Walnuts also have the added bonus of keeping your blood vessels healthy and elastic. A handful everyday should do the trick, try and eat them raw.
