I've read that a bowl of oatmeal could help prevent a heart attack. Possibly. How about a handful of walnuts, or even your baked potato topped with some heart-healthy margarine? A few simple changes to your diet-like these- may be enough to lower your cholesterol to a healthy level. Oatmeal and oat bran I read have a soluble fiber, which reduces your low density "bad" cholesterol. Soluble fiber is also found in such foods as kidney beans, apples, pears, barley.
Walnuts, almonds and more: Studies have shown that walnuts can significantly reduce blood cholesterol. Rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, walnuts also help keep blood vessels healthy and elastic. Almonds seem to have a similar effect, resulting in a marked improvement within just four weeks. Interesting. I thought I would pass this info on to you. Thanks, Kathy W.
