To begin promoting lower cholesterol you want to replace these less healthy food choices with heart healthy options.
Here are 2 foods you can add to your diet to promote a lower cholesterol:
1. Atlantic Salmon
Salmon is a rich source of omega 3 fatty acids. Omega 3’s have many benefits, some of which include decreased lipoprotein A, lowered triglycerides, reduced blood pressure, elevated HDL cholesterol, and decreased risk of blot clots.
Some additional sources of omega 3 include fish, ground flaxseed, and walnuts.
2. Almonds
Almonds are a great source of monounsaturated fat. Monounsaturated fat is a heart healthy type of fat that will help lower cholesterol when eaten in place of foods containing saturated and trans fats. As an added benefit, monounsaturated fats tend to be high in Vitamin E.
Some additional sources of monounsaturated fat include avocados, olive oil, and pistachios.
All the best,
