  • Fruits: citrus, tomato, rose hip, banana, apples and persimmon.

  • Flavonoids in dark chocolate are the same chemicals found in red wine, which has also been found to lower LDL cholesterol (low density lipoproteins, “bad” cholesterol) levels as well as exert a protective effect against coronary Heart Disease. In addition to this, one-third of the fat content found in chocolate is in the form of stearic acid. Although it is a saturated fat, stearic acid exerts a neutral effect on cholesterol levels; that is, while it does not appear to raise cholesterol levels in some studies, it does not appear to lower them either.
  • Onions helps lower blood pressure and cholesterol, prevent bone loss, reduce Airway Inflammation and conatin cancer-fighting enzymes.
  • Macqui berry helps regulate cholesterol and triglyceride levels by encouraging healthy blood flow, preventing cholesterol oxidation, and discouraging plaque buildup in the arteries.

  • Aloe Vera helps in Normalize Cholesterol Levels and Maintain Heart Health.
  • Artichoke has shown to significantly lowered blood ldl cholesterol levels.
  • Many studies have shown that the unique fiber in oatmeal called beta-glucan, has beneficial effects on cholesterol levels. Oats also has avenanthramides, an antioxidant compound distinctive to oats that prevents the damage of LDL cholesterol. By doing so, there blood vessels are cleared of cholesterols attached to the arterial walls, and therefore reduce heart health problems.
  • avocado can improve the levels of total cholesterol in the body, by increasing HDL and lowering LDL.
  • stearic acid in dark chocolate can lower the total cholesterol, LDL and HDL.
  • True tea, especially the fairly processed green tea, can lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, and improve the ratio of HDL against LDL.
  • The bean-cholesterol association is due to the soluble fiber content of beans.
  • Red Wine : By drinking red wine, the way the French do every day, blood pressure is better regulated and the total cholesterol decreased. The LDL cholesterol level also decreased, and the damage of LDL due to oxidative stress is reduced.
  • Vitamin B3 or niacin helps increase HDL levels.
  • soy protein and its isoflavones raises 3 percent of HDL levels that could lower heart disease risk by 5 percent end soy could cause a minimal reduction in LDL cholesterol and triglyceride, another type of blood fat, and a possibility of enhancing blood vessel function.
  • Moderate alcohol drinking One is increases HDL cholesterol levels and boosts the movement of removing cholesterol deposits from the artery walls.
