If you are looking for a natural way to
decrease your cholesterol additionally to controlling what you eat and
working out there are tones of dietary supplements on the market that
claim to do the trick. But just because your aunt says a supplement did
miracles on her cholesterol does not mean it will work for you. In fact,
her success might be due to a diet overhaul she neglected to mention or
a placebo effect. Here is real cholesterol lowering tricks you can use
to achieve your goal.
Oats
An easy first step to improve your
cholesterol is eating a bowl of oatmeal or cold oat based cereal like
Cheerios for breakfast. It gives you about two grams of soluble fiber.
Add a banana or even strawberries for another half gram. Current
nutrition studies recommend getting 15 to 30 grams of fiber per day,
with at least 10 to 15 grams coming from soluble fiber.
Barley and other whole grains
Like oat bran and oats, barley and other
whole grains can help lower the risk of heart disease, mainly due to
the soluble fiber they deliver.
Beans
Beans are extremely rich in soluble
fiber. They also take awhile for your body to digest, causing you feel
full for longer after a meal. That is one reason beans are a useful food
for people trying to lose weight. With so many choices from kidney and
navy beans to black eyed, garbanzos, lentils peas and so many ways to
prepare them, beans are a very diverse food.
Okra and eggplant
Both of these low calorie veggies are good sources of soluble fiber.
