Best natural food for lowering your cholesterol

All fruits and vegetables have health benefits to offer. But some are
exceptionally good.

Among the best are:

Avocados

Although this is one of the few fruits high in fat, it's mainly
monounsaturated fat. Many studies have found that eating one
avocado a day can lower your LDL as much 17 percent while raising
your HDL. You can try them in salads and sandwiches or mashed
with a bit of lemon juice, onion and chopped tomato as a topping for
baked potatoes. However, one avocado has about 340 calories.

Garlic

Garlic can moderately lower cholesterol, as well as prevent blood from
becoming sticky, thus forming dangerous clots. The compound most
studied in garlic is allicin which gives garlic its distinctive odor. In one
analysis of five trials the authors concluded that you could lower your
total cholesterol about 9 percent with 2 to 3 cloves of garlic daily for
two to six months.One way to eat your garlic is to remove the loose
paper covering from a head of garlic, cut off the tops of the garlic,
drizzle olive oil on it, wrap in foil, and bake in a 350°F oven until soft,
for about an hour. Then squeeze the heads of the cooked garlic onto
toasted bread and spread.
