Today I’m going to quickly cover the 3 best TYPES of foods you should eat daily, to support healthy cholesterol levels.
This is exactly what I did to improve my parent’s cholesterol levels since 1999.
I added a daily herbal supplement and the 3 foods mentioned in today’s article.
What you’ll discover today will be easy to implement because these are general guidelines and not some kind of specific diet. So you have a lot of flexibility and variation.
FIBER
Fiber is very important for overall health, weight management, and of course, healthy cholesterol.
Fiber promotes healthy cholesterol levels through numerous pathways…
- reducing bile in your intestines
- by binding to cholesterol in your blood and the foods you eat
- by stabilizing your blood sugar levels
Unfortunately, most Americans don’t get enough fiber, barely 5 grams daily. … You need around 25-30 grams.
Good sources of fiber are
- Beans and legumes (pinto, black, lentils, etc.)
- whole grains (quinoa, oat bran, barley, etc.)
- Nuts, which also have healthy fats (almonds, walnuts, etc., but NOT peanuts)
- fruits containing a fiber called pectin — such as Apples, grapes, strawberries, and citrus fruits
And if you aren’t able to get enough fiber through your food, add in some fiber supplements such as psyllium.
FAT
Healthy fats are very important for healthy cholesterol.
One primary reason is that your body needs good fats to produce proper ratios of hormones, such as testosterone, Growth hormones, thyroids, and similar “youth” hormones.
Unfortunately, most people eat the WRONG kinds of fats, such as
- Processed vegetable oils
- Heated and hydrogenated oils
- Trans fats (such as margarine)
- Animal fats and dairy
The best fats should be eaten RAW, such as
- Nuts (not roasted and not peanuts)
- Extra virgin, organic coconut oil
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Avocados
- Fish oils
- Seeds — Flaxseed oil, Chia seeds
Vegetables
You can almost never go wrong with eating vegetables. Eat whatever you want and go for a variety of colors.
Raw is best most of the time, or lightly steamed. But please don’t overcook them, or eat them with fats or dressings.
Summary
So there you have it … eat lots of fiber-rich foods, healthy fats, and vegetables.
If you want faster results, take an herbal/vitamin supplement.
Don’t forget to exercise daily, even if it’s just a 20 min walk.
I think we can all agree that healthy cholesterol levels is very important for your health, fitness & longevity (heart & brain health, sexual performance, arteries, etc.).
Unfortunately, most of us don't have the time, money or devotion to make big lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, stress management, etc.) Plus, AGING is another major factor (not just lifestyle)...
Well, the good news is that now you can quickly achieve your "healthy cholesterol" goals with ONE simple solution that's easy, convenient & requires NO lifestyle changes...
