6 Ways to Decrease Cholesterol in Diet
4. Add cholesterol lowering products to your diet
Research now supports the fact that certain cholesterol lowering products actually do the work. The products include plant sterols and stanols which can be found in specially developed products such as yoghurt and vegetable spreads.
5. Increase the amount of soluble fibers in your diet
Fibers come in two forms, soluble and insoluble. Soluble fibers get digested by the body and insoluble do not. Soluble fibers are good as they reduce the amount of cholesterol in your body. Sources of natural soluble fibers include oats, beans, peas, lentils, chickpeas, fruit and vegetables.
6. Go for lean meat and stay away from red meat
Baked chicken and lean meat should be on your plate instead of red meat and stakes which increase your cholesterol levels.
Add a lot of greens and fruits to your diet, get rid of the fatty stuff, eat a lot of spices and you will see your cholesterol levels dropping. A bit of physical activity and exercise also helps.
