Reduce Bad Cholesterol and Boost Good Cholesterol

Including the following low cholesterol food in your daily low cholesterol diet will help reduce bad cholesterol which can clog the arteries, causing damage to the artery wall.  Low cholesterol food will also boost good cholesterol which removes bad LDL cholesterol from the bloodstream.

 

Benefits of Low Cholesterol Food

Food Low in Cholesterol

Fish

Low Cholesterol Food - SalmonOily fish, such as mackerel, sardines, herring, trout and salmon, contain valuable fatty acids known as omega 3.  Omega 3 fatty acids boost good cholesterol level i.e. increase good hdl cholesterol and are strongly believed to help prevent heart disease.  Try to eat oily fish 2-3 times a week.  Grill or bake in the oven without extra oil.

 

Nuts

Nuts are high in healthy monounsaturated fats - the good fats,  that helps reduce bad cholesterol level and discourages 'bad' ldl cholesterol from oxidizing and damaging the artery wall.  Nuts are also a valuable source of vitamin E, which protects against oxidative damages.  Almonds and walnuts are said to be particularly effective.  Eat just a few nuts each day as a low cholesterol snack, or add them to salads or cakes.

Olive oil and rapeseed oil

These oils, particularly olive oil, are very high in heart healthy monounsaturated fats, which reduce 'bad' LDL cholesterol and prevent it from causing oxidative damage to the arteries.  Olive oil keeps artery clogging 'bad' hdl cholesterol low while slightly increasing and maintaining 'good' HDL cholesterol.  This could explain why there is a low incidence of  heart disease in Mediterranean countries where olive oil are a major part of the Mediterranean diet.  Use 'pure' olive oil in moderation for low cholesterol cooking and 'extra virgin' for salads.

Low Cholesterol Food - PulsesPulses

Countless studies indicate that pulses - dried beans, lentils and chick peas - work miracles in fighting high cholesterol when eaten on a daily basis.  You can use all types of beans in your low cholesterol diet : kidney, pinto, flageolet, butter beans, haricot, soy  - even ordinary baked beans.  Use tinned or precooked pulses to replace some or all of the meat in stews; add cooked pulses to gutsy salads and soups; or whiz them in a blender with garlic, lemon, herbs and a little olive oil to make dips and pates.
