Foods lower cholesterol in various ways. Soluble fibre for e.g, binds cholesterol and its precursors in the digestive system and drags them out of the body before they get into circulation. Other foods give you polyunsaturated fats, which directly lower bad cholesterol or LDL. And some contain plant sterols and stanols, which block the body from absorbing cholesterol.

Oats!

If you’re trying to lower your cholesterol and not eating oats in ANY form, you might be a few tricks behind everyone else!!!

Easy first step is a bowl of porridge. Add Cholestero-Low on top and thats the equivalent of 5 bowls of porridge.
