Simple everyday foods can help you fight cholesterol naturally. Check them out.
Oats:
Oats will definitely bring your cholesterol levels down fast, especially your LDL (bad) cholesterol. This is mainly due to the fibre it contains.
Apples:
Apples have been used for many years as natural remedies for high cholesterol. Just make sure you eat one every day and only eat organically grown apples that are without chemicals if you possibly can.
Avocados:
Avocados contain healthy monosaturated fats, including a substance called oleic acid. Oleic acid has been repeatedly proven to lower bad cholesterol and raise good cholesterol levels. This makes avocados a perfect natural remedy for high cholesterol.
Dark Greens:
Dark green vegetables such as spinach, lettuce and broccoli are terrific natural remedies for high cholesterol. The best dark greens, however, are cereal grasses.
Lecithin:
This has the ability to break up cholesterol in the blood so it doesn’t gather on the walls of arteries. You can buy it as supplemental form or simply get it from egg yolks (this is one of the reasons why eating eggs actually helps to lower your cholesterol, not raise it).
Blueberries and Goji Berries:
Blueberries and goji berries contain some very powerful antioxidants, along with vitamin C and bioflavonoids. They are some of the most significant anti-cancer foods available. They also play a very important role in heart health and have been frequently established in numerous studies to lower cholesterol, blood pressure and triglyceride levels.
Soy:
Unprocessed soy activates enzymes in your body which help to get rid of bad cholesterol. Eat raw soy nuts and instead of using homogenized/pasteurised cow’s milk (which can raise cholesterol), drink soy milk.
Flax Seeds, Sunflower Seeds and Nuts:
Flax and sunflower seeds, along with nuts such as almonds and walnuts are strong high cholesterol natural remedies. You can buy an LSA mix from the supermarket or health food store that contains linseed, sunflower, almond and soy all ground up ready to sprinkle on a salad or mix in your breakfast cereal.
Garlic:
Garlic aids in the fight against cancer and enhances immune system function. It also lowers cholesterol and blood pressure levels significantly. You can take supplements but it’s a lot cheaper and easier to simply add it to your cooking.
Water:
Water is one of nature’s most excellent cleaners and eliminators. Drink at least 10 glasses of filtered water every day as it helps to get rid of extreme cholesterol from the body.
