If you weren't aware, there are two types of cholesterol - the good and bad kind. Naturally, this is where the bad cholesterol diet comes into play. If you're considering this, then it can be valuable to know that many types of foods cater to this type of diet. Look for low cholesterol diet foods such as a number of different Minute Maid products, as well as fruits and vegetables. The general rule of thumb is if it has a buttery feel, you need to avoid it like the plague - protect your body and stick to the diet!

HDL cholesterol scavenges free fat in the blood and returns it to the liver, protecting your vessels against atherosclerosis. Foods high in soluble fiber, omega-3 fatty acids such as flax seed oil and fish, and mild to moderate alcohol consumption have been reported to raise levels of HDL cholesterol.
