5 natural ways to lower cholesterol

Here are some tips on how to lower blood cholesterol levels naturally:

1. Decrease intake of animal products in your diet.

The only source of dietary cholesterol comes from animal products (meat, dairy and eggs). No plant, vegetable, nut or seed grown on this planet contains cholesterol! So decrease animal products dramatically or try a vegetarian diet for a while.

2. Eat more high-fibre foods.

Fibre can help move fats through the body and decrease blood lipid (HDL) levels. Eat whole grains such as oatmeal and whole-wheat bread plus plenty of fresh fruits and vegetable daily.

3. Follow a low fat, good fat diet.

Switch from high fat foods to low fat foods. Bad fats are saturated fats (animal fats) and hydrogenated fats (fats which have been processed and heated to high temperatures e.g. fried food). Good fats come from fish and polyunsaturated vegetable oils, nuts and seeds.

4. Take Vitamin C daily.
