Nutritional Choice of the Month - December 2009
“Lower your cholesterol”
Are you like many other Americans in that you’ve been diagnosed with having high cholesterol (“hypercholesterolemia”)? The following is a list of 5 foods that lower cholesterol:
- Oranges- rich in pectin, oranges provide ~3 grams of soluble fiber
- Oats- typically the most recognized suggestion with respect to lowering your cholesterol
- Beans & Lentils- both are high in soluble fiber; I add them regularly to salads
- Sardines- a classic choice
- Pistachio nuts- rich in mono-unsaturated fats
