Lowering Cholesterol NaturallyFiber can dramatically lower cholesterol. The best sources of fiber include fresh foods that have not been processed. Pectin, which is found in apples, blueberries and grapefruit, is a soluble fiber that reduces cholesterol. Psyllium is an excellent source of fiber, but do not use store brand fibers with it, because they normally have sugar and preservatives added. Garlic lowers blood pressure and can help lower cholesterol too. You can either add it to your diet or take garlic capsules. Olive oil lowers LDL cholesterol. Fish oil also lowers LDL cholesterol. Niacin, or vitamin B3, is a safe way to lower LDL cholesterol and raises HDL cholesterol. Red wine and green tea both contain bioflavonoids which can lower cholesterol. A green tea supplement or grapeseed extract work well as too much alcohol can actually raise cholesterol levels. Exercise raises HDL cholesterol levels and improves the health of your arteries. |
