Article suggests that healthy foods lower cholesterol
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
An article on The Milwaukee Channel website suggests eating oats, beans, barley, grapefruits, apples, oranges, leaner meat, fish and poultry, among others, to help lower cholesterol and stay healthy.
Lowering cholesterol is a combination of watching your dietary intake, regular physical activity and genetics.
Recommendations for lowering your cholesterol include reducing saturated fat and including healthy fats such as nuts, olive or canola oil and margarines that contain plant sterols in your daily eating plan.
Healthy fats can help keep cholesterol low and may actually increase the HDL or "good" cholesterol.
Plant foods provide several cholesterol lowering benefits including soluble fiber.
Oats, beans, barley, grapefruits, apples and oranges are good soluble fiber choices.
