Do you have high cholesterol? Add these 5 foods into your diet to lower it!

Introduction

High cholesterol is a significant concern for many people, as it can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. While medication is often recommended to help lower cholesterol, several foods can be incorporated into your diet to help bring those levels down. In this article, we will discuss five effective foods for lowering cholesterol.

Which type of cholesterol should we worry about?

It’s important to note that not all cholesterol is terrible. There are two types of cholesterol: LDL (low-density lipoprotein) and HDL (high-density lipoprotein). LDL cholesterol is often called “bad” cholesterol because it can build up in the arteries and increase the risk of heart disease. HDL cholesterol, on the other hand, is often referred to as “good” cholesterol because it helps remove LDL cholesterol from the arteries.

Is dietary cholesterol terrible?

While dietary cholesterol can contribute to higher LDL cholesterol levels in specific individuals, it’s not necessarily the main culprit. Saturated and trans fats have been found to have a much more significant impact on raising LDL cholesterol levels. Therefore, it’s essential to choose foods low in saturated and trans fats while also incorporating foods that can help lower cholesterol levels.

Foods that lower cholesterol

1. Oats

Oats are a great source of soluble fiber, which can help reduce LDL cholesterol levels. Soluble fiber binds to cholesterol in the digestive tract and helps remove it from the body before entering the bloodstream. Aim to eat at least one serving of oats per day, whether in oatmeal, granola, or baked goods.

2. Nuts

Nuts, such as almonds and walnuts, are high in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which can help lower LDL cholesterol levels while increasing HDL cholesterol levels. In addition, nuts are a great source of fiber and plant sterols, which also help reduce cholesterol levels. Aim to eat a handful of nuts daily as a snack or incorporate them into meals and recipes.

3. Fatty fish

Fatty fish, such as salmon and tuna, are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which can help lower triglyceride levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. Aim to eat at least two servings of fatty fish per week.

4. Fruits and vegetables

Fruits and vegetables are naturally low in saturated and trans fats and are high in fiber, which can help reduce cholesterol levels. In addition, specific fruits and vegetables, such as apples, grapes, and eggplant, contain compounds that can help lower LDL cholesterol levels. Aim to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables every day, focusing on those high in fiber.

5. Soy

Soy products, such as soy milk and tofu, contain compounds called isoflavones, which have been shown to help lower LDL cholesterol levels. In addition, soy products are naturally low in saturated fat and can be used as a substitute for animal-based products high in saturated fat. Aim to incorporate soy products into your diet at least a few times weekly.

Conclusion

While medication may be necessary to help lower cholesterol levels in some individuals, incorporating these five foods into your diet can also be effective. Aim to eat a variety of whole foods that are low in saturated and trans fats while also focusing on foods that can help lower cholesterol levels, such as oats, nuts, fatty fish, fruits and vegetables, and soy. By making these simple changes to your diet, you can help improve your overall health and reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.
