Високото ниво на холестерол, което по-конкретно се изразява в увеличаване на лошия холестерол, се причинява от храната, която консумираме. Двете основни съставки в нея обикновено са наситените мазнини и холестерола. Те обикновено се срещат в животинските продукти. Наситените мазнини рязко увеличават лошия холестерол. Консумирането им в прекалено голямо количество ще доведе до различни здравни проблеми. Очевидно е, че трябва да промените менюто си, но това не е лесно. Добрата новина е, че има храни, които могат да противодействат на тези вредни ефекти. Те съдържат хранителни вещества, които намаляват нивото на холестерола. Разтворими фибри Разтворимите фибри могат да бъдат открити в овесените ядки, боба, ечемика, сушените сини сливи, бананите и много други плодове. Те ограничават абсорбирането на холестерола в кръвния поток, а по този начин намаляват цялостното му ниво в организма. Дневният препоръчителен прием на фибри е 5-10 грама. Около чаша и половина овесена каша съдържа около шест грама. Ядки Ядките съдържат полиненаситени мастни киселини, които също ограничават високото ниво на холестерол в организма. Орехите, бадемите, лешниците, фъстъците и някои от кедровите ядки могат да ви бъдат от голяма полза. Орехите, в частност, са известни с това, че поддържат здрави кръвоносните съдове. Изследванията са показали, че дори само шепа ядки може да намали риска от сърдечно-съдови заболявания. Избягвайте захаросаните или солени ядки, консумирайте ги сурови. Не прекалявайте, защото съдържат много калории. Омега-3 мастни киселини Омега-3 мастните киселини, които се срещат в определени типове риба, се считат за най-добрият вариант при борбата с холестерола от много хора. Рискът от кръвни съсиреци и високо кръвно налягане обикновено се намаляват с консумацията на тези мастни киселини. Препоръчваме ви поне 2 ястия от риба седмично. Най-високи нива на омега-3 мастни киселини се съдържат в следните видове: скумрия, пъстърва, херинга, сардина, сьомга и камбала. Печенето е най-добрият вариант за приготвяне, за да се избегнат допълнителни наситени мазнини и да се получи здравословно хранене. Тези, които не обичат риба, могат да си набавят омега-3 мастни киселини от лененото масло или пък под формата на хранителна добавка на капсули. Освен ако не сте изложени на сериозен риск от сърдечно-съдови заболявания или имате високи нива на холестерол, цялостната промяна на вашата диета може би била твърде крайна. Можете да направите достатъчно, разменяйки „лошите” храни за „добри”, когато знаете как да ги разграничите. Например, можете да използвате ядки в салатата си, вместо месо и сирене. Сменете пържолите с пушена сьомга за известно време, няма да съжалявате.

To get omega-3, choose salmon, trout, herring, sardines, and mackerel. American Heart Association (AHA) recommends consumption of at least two servings of salmon and other fatty fish per week. Avocado Avocados are a source of monounsaturated fats, a good fats and regularly consume avocado can increase HDL (good cholesterol). In addition, avocados also contain beta-sitosterol which can reduce the amount of cholesterol absorbed from food. Combination beta-sitosterol and monounsaturated fat makes the avocado is a good cholesterol-lowering food. Even so, the avocado has a slightly higher calories. For that, do not add the avocado with a mixture of high-fat foods. American Heart Association (AHA) recommends 15 percent of daily calories derived from monounsaturated fats such as those contained in the avocado. This is tantamount to 30 grams of monounsaturated fat. As an illustration, an avocado contains 300 calories and 30 grams of fat.

However, other studies have also shown that garlic can stop the plaque in the arteries at an early stage.

Several studies have shown that tea maintain the flexibility of blood vessels and prevent blood clotting. Flavonoids, the main antioxidant in tea, has been proved to be able to prevent the oxidation of LDL that leads to form plaques on arteries walls.
