According to to 'Heart UK' these are the recommended 'Cholesterol Busters':-
- Soy Foods - Non processed soy such as tempeh, tofu etc. Processed soy products has other ingredients added, as with most processed foods, they are not good for you.
- Nuts - 30- 35 g of mixed nuts per day. They are full of goodness.
- Oats & Barley - Full of soluble fibre, which prevents cholesterol from being absorbed.
- Fruit & Vegetables - this includes pulses such as lentils
Rule of thumb seems to be 'if it's from the animal' it's bad for your cholesterol, because most foods from the animal contain saturated fat, which you definitely need to avoid, which means dairy products are also not good for cholesterol.
