Healty Foods That Lower Cholesterol


"Good" Fats and Oils

Got "good" fats? Monounsaturated fats in particular can help reduce "bad" LDL cholesterol levels when you eat them in place of unhealthy saturated or trans fats. You will find these heart-healthy fats in foods such as avocados, peanut butter and nuts like hazelnuts, almonds and pecans. Vegetable oils such as olive, canola and peanut are also rich in monounsaturated fat.
A handful of nuts or 2 tablespoons of olive oil, is all you need to help your heart.
Don't go overboard, all fats, even healthy ones, are high in calories.
