High cholesterol is becoming a problem for more and more people, and its control is subject to various dietary regimens and the intake of nutritional supplements. What products should we choose?

Tip 1

Choose different oils that help lower the levels of so-called bad cholesterol LDL in the blood. These include the well-known olive oil, rapeseed oil, walnut, flaxseed, and copra oil. But before that, focus on the so-called Mediterranean diet: with lots of vegetables, and legumes such as chickpeas, buckwheat, quinoa, etc.

Tip 2

Garlic as a spice is indispensable in the fight against bad cholesterol. Aim for a small daily intake, 1 clove for example. It is beneficial for both the liver and the entire digestive system. For those who cannot consume it directly, try mixing it with various dishes and light snacks. Don't forget the onion, red onion, wild garlic, and leek, which have a similar effect to that of garlic.

Tip 3

Apples should also not be underestimated in a healthy diet. The pectin in them binds to gastric juices, as well as bile juice, and this helps to remove cholesterol from the body.

Tip 4

Nettle has a beneficial effect, especially in the spring and autumn months, when freshly picked it is particularly strong. The beneficial effect of nettle roots is also known, which helps not only with kidney problems and diseases of the genitourinary system. They are rich in the substance phytosterol, which helps lower cholesterol.

Tip 5

Celery is a great cholesterol-lowering herb, whether you use the root or the leaves. Include it in your healthy diet, especially by making green smoothies and smoothies with it and other ingredients: e.g. spinach, cucumber, and celery juice.

Tip 6

They call aronia - the "blue miracle" because of its antioxidant properties, because it helps in the fight against high blood pressure and against high cholesterol, as it normalizes cholesterol levels in the blood. It is especially useful to take in the morning: e.g. a few dry aronia berries, which can be mixed with muesli and yogurt, or drink 150 ml aronia juice on an empty stomach.

Tip 7

Fiber is also your ally in normalizing cholesterol levels. A daily intake of 50 grams of oatmeal, whole grain breads, quinoa, chickpeas, buckwheat, etc. will not only give you a feeling of satiety but will also have a healthy effect.

Tip 8

Several foods will also normalize cholesterol levels: e.g. eggs, skimmed butter, cheeses, etc. It is also believed that a little homemade bacon is a good choice in the diet.

Tip 9

Also, often reach for fish, seafood, soy, and all types of nuts, which are rich in amino acids.

Tip 10

Don't forget that immobility is also your enemy. Even on the coldest days of the year, don't miss a brisk walk in the park, followed by a nice, fragrant homemade herbal tea. If you can't go out, at least go up and down the stairs to move your body. Home exercises are also preferable.
