The Incredible Top 5 Cholesterol Lowering Foods

February 1st 2009 12:47
“Oh My God! My cholesterol level is rising up like rocket. Can anyone help me, pretty please?”
“Ok, can you please tell me, what are your daily meals?”

“Hmm…, give me a minute! Well, I love all those fast foods, such as cheeseburgers, French fries, fried chicken, peanut butter and much more…”

To all the beloved readers, if you think that you have the same eating habit like the above person, then you’re already a footstep closer to the door of heaven (or hell?)!

According to the U.S FDA latest national nutrition and health surveys, most of the U.S adults intake 357mg of cholesterol and it’s 12 percent more than the recommended level, 300mg per day!


For your information, 67% of the heart related diseases are mainly cause by the high cholesterol level. So, it’s better to change your unhealthy eating habits today, if you do care about your health!

Here are some suggestions for you:

Eat one bowl of oatmeal as the breakfast
If you continue to eat oatmeal for your breakfast, then your cholesterol level will at least drop 10 percent or even more. Oatmeal is rich with soluble and non-soluble fibers, where it prevents the bad cholesterol from being absorbed during digestion. As a result, it will reduce the high cholesterol in the end!



A bowl of beans for lunch
Same with the oatmeal, if you only eat a bowl of beans for the consecutive 8 weeks, then your high cholesterol level will decrease more than 20 percent (I have no problem for it, as green pea is my favorite lol).


Choose olive oil as you daily cooking oil
Since olive oil can efficiently reduce the bad cholesterol and raise up the good cholesterol level, thus it’s an ideal choice to use it to cook the daily meals!

Eat an apple a day

The same old saying, “An apple a day, keeps the doctor away!” Apple is rich in pectin, and it can help lowering the high cholesterol.

Drink a cup of ginger tea twice a week
For your information, the ginger contains Triazene phenol, where it can reduce the Triglyceride for over 27 percent and 33 percent for the bad cholesterol!

Drink at least a cup of soybean everyday
The FDA has approved that soybean has the ability to lower the bad cholesterol and prevent heart related diseases.

Consume walnuts and almonds frequently

These two types of nuts have been recognized as the “Nemesis” of bad cholesterol (The almond is also good for preventing the Alzheimer’s disease too)!

That’s for today, eat well and stay healthy all the time…

I'm not a fan of beans but there is this Filipino recipe with mung beans that is nutritious and delicious for you as well. And I second oatmeal for breakfast.
