How to reduce cholesterol
Diet is absolutely crucial to help manage cholesterol, and also for protecting your body from the potential risks of high LDL cholesterol (the “bad” cholesterol). Cholesterol itself isn’t bad in a sense, it’s more its potential to do bad if there is a lot of inflammation present in the body.
Some tips to improve your cholesterol naturally.
FOLLOW AN ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DIET
Adopting an anti-inflammatory diet and lifestyle is considered one of the most effective approaches for lowering cholesterol. An anti-inflammatory diet includes beans, whole grains, fatty fish, vegetables, foods high in inflavonoids such as citrus fruits and foods high in polyphenols such as whole grains.
REDUCE SATURATED FATS
Saturated fats, found primarily in red meat and full-fat dairy products, raise your total cholesterol. Decreasing your consumption of saturated fats can reduce your low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol — the "bad" cholesterol.
INCREASE SOLUBLE FIBER
Soluble fiber can reduce the absorption of cholesterol into your bloodstream. Soluble fiber is found in such foods as oatmeal, kidney beans, brussels sprouts, apples, and pears.
EAT FOODS RICH IN OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS
Foods with omega-3 fatty acids include salmon, mackerel, walnuts and flaxseeds.
ANTIOXIDANT FOODS
Antioxidant rich foods include colourful fruits and vegetables such as berries, mango, carrot, and pumpkin.
