How to Choose Cholesterol Lowering Foods to Eat?
It is said that we are what we eat. What you eat can lower your cholesterol. Oats are soluble fiber which means they can lower LDL cholesterol which is the so called bad cholesterol. Whole grain bread and flaxseed are other examples of this category of food that lowers cholesterol. It is thought that soluble fiber keeps cholesterol from being absorbed by sticking to it. That stops the cholesterol from entering your system. Oatmeal makes a good breakfast as well as some type of oat bran. One and a half cups of oatmeal a day will decrease your cholesterol. Since this is a lot of oatmeal, you may want to substitute uncooked oatmeal for one-third of the flour in certain recipes. Some nuts are cholesterol lowering foods. In particular, walnuts are a great choice. Walnuts are loaded with omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids lower triglycerides in the bloodstream. To lower your chances of heart disease eating an ounce of nuts everyday will accomplish that. Almonds lower cholesterol too. Other recommended nuts to lower cholesterol are peanuts, pecans, pistachios, and hazelnuts. Eat these nuts unsalted and raw to obtain their full benefit. According to the FDA stay away from macadamia, Brazil, and cashew nuts. They are full of fat. Another food that contains a great amount of omega-3 fatty acids is fatty fish. Tuna, salmon, trout, mackerel, and sardines are oily fish that lower cholesterol because of their omega-3 fatty acids. Herring and halibut are good choices also. To lower your cholesterol you need to steam, grill, or broil these fish. Microwaving fish is another healthy option which keeps the fish moist. Tuna sandwiches made on whole grain bread with low-fat mayonnaise and relish is one meal that will lower your cholesterol. In a week try to eat fish twice. Substances called plant stanols and plant sterols are contained in many vegetables, grains, fruits, nuts, legumes, and in seeds. They keep your bloodstream from absorbing cholesterol. Cholesterol can be reduced by twenty percent by eating three servings of plant sterols and stanols on a daily basis. Eat one ounce of margarine fortified with stanol to lower cholesterol by fourteen percent.
