* Nuts and Seeds: Almonds, hazelnut, flax seed, chia seed, pumpkin seed, poppy seed, walnut, sunflower sprouts.

* Oils: Naturally you will want to avoid the so-called “bad saturated fats” and focus on getting a balance of the “good fats”, such as the Omega-9, Olive, Hazelnut, Almond and Sesame oils; and the Omega-3 and 6, Walnut and Grapeseed oils. It has been proven that a balanced intake of Omega-3 and 6 oils along with high levels of Omega-9 significantly reduce the risk of dying from a cardiovascular related disease.
*[[Niacin]] (Vitamin B3) is essentially used to lower high cholesterol levels.
* A clinical trial showed that red yeast rice lowered bad cholesterol as effectively as a prescription statin. * [[Lycopene]] in tomatoes reduces ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol in the blood whilst slightly increasing good cholesterol levels.* [[Phosphatidylcholine]] boost your "good" HDL cholesterol and help normalize your "bad" LDL cholesterol
* Dark [[Chocolate]] can lower LDL cholesterol levels by around 10 percent. Researchers also recommend avoiding milk when eating dark chocolates since it tends to wash out the chocolate's antioxidant content.
*Raw honey and Bee Pollen : Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of [[Cinnamon]] Powder mixed in 16 ounces of tea water, given to a cholesterol patient, was found to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10% within 2 hours. As mentioned for arthritic patients, if taken 3 times a day, any Chronic cholesterol is cured.

* One medium pear has 5 g of dietary fiber, much of it in the form of pectin, which helps flush out bad cholesterol, a risk factor in [[Heart Disease]].
* 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 [[Onion]]s 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.
*Pterostilbene is a powerful antioxidant found in blueberries. Scientists are buzzing about its amazing cancer-fighting and cholesterol-lowering ability.
* Phytonutrients in [[Beans]] lower cholesterol.
* Nutrients found in [[guava]] have been shown to lower LDL and boost HDL cholesterol, reduce triglycerides, and lower blood pressure.
* [[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.
* 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.
