Here’s what I wish I knew sooner: Bad food is the MAIN cause of cholesterol.
Sadly, most people don’t care about what they eat. If you care about your health, know this: You can start lowering your bad cholesterol today.
How?
Well, here’s how:
Eat More Fiber
Sounds simple? That’s because it is.
But the effects on your cholesterol are amazing.
You might be asking-
“How does fiber lower cholesterol?”
Well, fiber binds to cholesterol and removes it from your body.
Therefore, lowering your LDL (bad cholesterol).
So, what should you eat?
Here are some foods high in fiber:
Oats
Legumes (Beans, Lentils, Chickpeas)
Fruits (Apples, Berries, Citrus, Pears)
Veggies (Carrots, Eggplant, Okra)
Just by eating more fiber, you help your body lower cholesterol.
Eat Healthy Fats
Most people think fats are bad.
But that’s not true.Some fats are NEEDED for you and help fight cholesterol. “But how do I know the good fats from the bad?”
Simple.
Here are some healthy fats:
Avocados
Olive Oil
Fatty Fish (Salmon, tuna, sardines)
Nuts (Almonds, walnuts)
Just by eating these, your good cholesterol (HDL) will rise while LDL drops.
Eat Cholesterol-Busting Superfoods
You don’t need supplements, superfoods, or magic potions.
Why?
Some foods actively lower cholesterol.
“But which ones?”
Flaxseeds & Chia Seeds
Dark Chocolate (85 %+ cocoa)
Green Tea
Garlic
Simple.
Add these foods to your diet, and see the effects for yourself.
What NOT to eat.
We’ve gone over the foods we should eat.
But, what about what not to eat?
Here are some you should avoid:
Fried Foods & Processed Junk
Sugary Drinks & White Bread
Processed Meats
Full-Fat Dairy
Lowering cholesterol isn’t about restrictions.
It’s about choosing better foods to eat.
Eat more fiber.
Eat healthy fats.
Eat foods that fight cholesterol.
Do this consistently, and your bad cholesterol (LDL) will decrease.
It’s simple.
