10 Ways To Lower Cholesterol

Consume Soluble Fiber

Soluble fiber includes a variety of plant compounds that we cannot digest. They may dissolve in water. Soluble fiber can be digested by the beneficial bacteria, known as probiotics, in the intestines. This process helps lower levels of harmful forms of lipoproteins, including VLDL and LDL. Also, soluble fiber may bring some cholesterol benefits to those who take statins. Good sources of soluble fiber to add to the diet include whole grains, oats, fruits, lentils, peas, and beans. You can also purchase fiber supplements in any pharmacies or drugstores. [4]
