High colesterol

 

Almonds play a role in helping lower cholesterol. Properties in almond skins protect against LDL (the bad cholesterol) and can reduce the risk of heart disease. The fibre structure of almonds may also prevent weight gain. Try eating a handful of almonds each day.

Avocados have also been shown to reduce the production of LDL - the bad cholesterol, and increase the good cholesterol in those that have slightly raised cholesterol. Avocados can also provide protection against breast cancer, heart disease and strokes and help aid digestion.

Beans and lentils have been proven to lower levels of bad cholesterol dramatically when eaten as part of a low-fat diet. They are also packed with nutrients and preventative properties that help combat aging and diabetes. Try adding beans and lentils to salads, soups or casseroles.
