Are You Eating Enough Fiber to Lower Cholesterol?
While doing research for my exciting new project—a low-cholesterol cookbook that will debut in January, 2018 (more on that in subsequent posts!)—I was reminded just how important fiber is to a diet that helps naturally lower cholesterol.
Which of course made me realize I'm probably not getting enough fiber. On the plus side, I am definitely back in the habit of a daily dose of Metamucil.
On the downside, that only delivers 3 grams of total dietary fiber, and 2 grams of soluble fiber, which is known to decrease LDL (bad) cholesterol.
How does that compare with the amount of fiber a person needs to consume daily to help lower cholesterol?
