Cholesterol is looked upon as something undesirable. But it is actually essential to our body. There are good cholesterol (HDL) and bad cholesterol (LDL). The aim is to get the HDL up and the LDL down. \nAnd good news! There are quite a lot of food  that can do this and most of them taste good as well.\n \n1) Soya products\n2) Fish - rich in Omega 3 \n3) Nuts - high in mono/polyunsaturated fats \n4) High fibre food like fruits, vegetables and oatmeal - in our digestive system, fibres bind and traps fat in our food and reduces their absorbtion into the body\n\nCheck out this website too for more details http://www.loweringcholesterol.net/show/cholesterol-lowering-foods

"For Cholesterol"?\nDo you mean to lower it?  \n\nJust basically eat the Mediterannian Diet:\n"- high consumption of fruits, vegetables, bread and other cereals, potatoes, beans, nuts and seeds \n\n- olive oil is an important monounsaturated fat source \n\n- dairy products, fish and poultry are consumed in low to \nmoderate amounts, and little red meat is eaten \n\n- eggs are consumed zero to four times a week \n\n- wine is consumed in low to moderate amounts "\n\nYou should also try using "Smart Balance" instead of butter all around.  It even tastes better, IMHO.  My mom has really bad high cholesterol, and she has to be on this diet to not have to take medication for it.

The doctors will tell you to follow  a low fat diet and increase you intake of things like oatmeal, or Cheerios. Exercise also helps. If you take the more medical way, the doctors can prescribe medications like zocor, lipitor of crestor to help bring down the cholesterol numbers. Hope this helps!!

I read somewhere(sorry I can't remember where), that eating a grapefruit a day can reduce your cholesterol by 14%. Omega 3,6,9/flax oil supplements helps as well. Other foods that are great are grapes, tomatoes, oranges, blueberries, carrots, basically anything containing flavanoids. Flavanoids inhibit the production of LDL- "bad" cholesterol.

Nope, eggs are nature's perfect food.  \n\n\nAnd there is no evidence that dietary cholesterol affects blood cholesterol.\n\nEnjoy your eggs.

Just boil it, and take out the egg yoke, that will reduce the cholesterol and you won't have to wait.  Egg whites themselves contain very little cholesterol.

You can continue to eat chocolate if you're prepared to make other sacrifices - cut down on other dairy products, switch to skimmed milk, use spreads instead of butter, cut out anything too fatty like sausages, bacon etc, don't eat anything fried, and no pastries/cakes etc.\n\nYou could add in things like porridge to your diet which help to bring down cholesterol, you can also drink those benechol drinks (expensive but effective), and you should increase your exercise which increases the levels of HDL, the "good" cholesterol and will thus decrease your good:bad cholesterol ratio.

ok, first of all u do not need dairy products, they are bad for your bones if u are no longer a child, exchange those for rice milk, and rice milk ice cream if u must: not soy milk b/c it has more cholesterol than non-fat milk.\neat lots of grains, like brown rice and grain bread with vegetables (preferably raw or slightly boiled/steamed).\nAlso, if u have access to a Japanese or Asian food market get some "Soba noodles" and boil them, they are delicious, and u dont need to drain the water after, u can just make it into a soup with veggies.\nAlso it would be good to get yrself addicted to sushi, preferably sashimi actually (just slices of raw fish).  So maybe u have some sushi-loving friends to help you out to make your own or maybe go out for some! :) I included a link (the 2nd one) of how to make your own sashimi, and note than u should exchange the white rice with brown rice or none at all.\nAlso:\nOmega-3 fish oil tablets to wonders for lowering bad cholesterol\nGarlic extract supplement (liquid)\nCayenne Pepper supplement (pills)\nthese are all perfectly safe and help reduce cholesterol as well as maintainng a healthy heart.\ncheck out the link below for some more cholesterol lowering foods.\nmy father has really bad cholesterol and has had 2 heart attacks in his life, but this new diet has been saving him.

Hey Carolina C - Eat your fruits and veggies (they make great snacks), salads from time to time, grilled or broiled verses fried, drink plenty of healthy fluids plus drink an antioxidant juice daily, exercise, drink a natural and healthy energy drink, look for the heart smart on menu's when you go out to eat, and pop a Hershey's kiss every now and then just because. I do but don't tell anyone ok. Take care and best wishes to you !!!!

your body can convert any fat into cholesterol, whether or not it is vegetable or animal fat\n\nEat what you like, fish is good for you but only in moderation - sea food contains mercury and other heavy metals, try salmon instead

Garlic is probably the best natural way of lowering your cholesterol, you can swallow a whole tooth of garlic every day in the morning, theres no taste, since you are taking it as a pill, but if that doesnt move you, then half of a grapefruit before breakfast will help you break down some of the fast you may intake during the day.

There are many things you can do for cholesterol.  first off you must know that cholesterol is made in the liver and is natural. But of course if you have too much, it can become a problem.  Appox. 95% of all ingested fats are triglycerides.  Even though our bodies needs cholesterol to make hormones and deal with stress and trauma, the wrong ratio of cholesterol types can pose a problem.  \nHDL, the supposed good cholestorol is actually the transporter(high-density lipoprotein) just as LDL(low density lipoprotein), bad cholesterol, is also a transporter.  LDL brings cholesterol and triglycerides from the liver and out to the body putting the circulatory system at risk.  HDL brings fat back to the liver to be processed and excreted or used.  If one has too much LDL over HDL, then it becomes a dangerous ratio for heart disease.  This is in part due to the Standard American Diet(SAD) that has too much saturated fats and not enough unsaturated fats.  And our brains and nerve system as well as our very cell membranes need EFA's, essential fatty acids, from good oils/fats. Therefore, diet is absolutely important.  But so is lifestyle and stress reduction.    \nOne thing you can do is increase your HDL, good cholesterol by including  UNsaturated fats( increase HDL) with Omegas(3/6/9) in your diet.   Esp. Omega-3 fatty acids.  They include avocado/safflower/coconut/fish/flaxseed  and especially most importantly olive oil.  Flax is  one of the best ways to get Omegas and has the highest concentrates of it.  Olive oil is best to use when cooking or with salads.  If you like the taste of flax oil, it's good in salads and over food.   Otherwise seeds ground or in meal is good in salads or porridge.  Cold water fish oil(omega 3/6/9) are good in capsules.  Fresh cold/deepwater fish is good to eat on occasion but one must watch out for the heavy metals in them so capsules are a good way to avoid that.  Make sure you get a brand  that says 'third party inspected' and molecularly distilled.  \nAs far as diet, remember, saturated fats( which increase LDL), animal fats, are literally saturated and do not move as much through your veins.  That is why they cause blockages to your heart/brain.  At room temperature they are solid.  Therefore in your body they can block up your veins if there is more of that than unsaturated, liquid.  You need a lot of unsaturated fats to keep things flowing as well as EFA's(essential fatty acids/Omegas) are good for your brain, mood, cellular and hormone support.  so try and keep your animal fats to a minimum and eat healthy versions:   pure butter, free-range, antibiotic/hormone FREE meats of any kind; free range eggs etc...and increase your vegetables like broccoli, kale and leafy greens, good nuts (look up which are higher in EFA's, ie. walnuts) and whole grains which are good for lowering cholesterol because they provide ruffage to help keep bowels flowing...which taxes the liver less and the liver needs all the help it can get...so if your digestion is good and smooth, then your liver is less stressed  and can perform better, thereby also helping with cholesterol. \nI could go on but check this out further if you need to.   \n\nhope that helps!!

High fiber foods. Fiber helps pull cholesterol out of the body. Oatmeal is an excellent breakfast food.\nEat more fruits/veggies, & cut back on your meat consumption, especially red meat.\nDrink more water, & less pop & juice.\nIncrease your whole grain consumption while decreasing refined, white flour products such as white breads & confections & pastries.\nYou would do well to add two supplements to your diet.\nSpirulina is an excellent addition, and so is chromium picolinate. You can find both of these at your local health food store.\nGood luck.
