1. Green Beans are rich in soluble fiber. Soluble fiber may help lower LDL or so-called bad cholesterol as well as total cholesterol levels.

2. Avocado contains mono-unsaturated fat which may aid in protecting your cells and keeping them functioning optimally. This can help protect cholesterol from damage.

3. Ginger is rich in antioxidants and studies have shown it can aid in lowering harmful cholesterol and increase good cholesterol.

4. Spinach acts as a bile acid sequestrant. In simple terms this means it aids in binding up bile acids. Bile acids are made by the liver from cholesterol, if they are bound up cholesterol is then used to make more. This reduces the amount of cholesterol in the blood.

5. Onion contains a compound called quercetin. This has been found to help lower cholesterol in rodents fed a high-fat diet.

6. Cauliflower is an excellent source of dietary fiber, which is great for keeping cholesterol healthy

7. Okra has a thick gel-like substance called mucilage which can bind to cholesterol during digestion. This results in cholesterol being excreted in stools rather than absorbed into your body.

8. Aubergine/Eggplant contains an antioxidant called chlorogenic acid, this is believed to help reduce unhealthy levels of LDL cholesterol.

9. Cabbage contains plant sterols. These are the fats that help block cholesterol from absorbing in the intestines.

10. Kale: This vegetable is packed with antioxidants which are beneficial for repairing oxidative damage. Antioxidants are especially vital for keeping your cholesterol healthy and preventing heart disease.

Dear Heart Disease Code.
Is it healthy to cook Okra with bicarbonate of soda. In my country we use soda to cook it, putting tomatoes and spices.

There's nothing wrong with cholesterol. Sugar is the most damaging thing in the human body and it can certainly damage cholesterol.

well, fortunately I learned I have high-ish cholesterol at the end of the summer...So kind of perfect timing for stews, roasted veggies, etc.

Why not include meat and internal organs if high fat is not bad?

[bobcocampo]

Why have a video if cholesterol are not important?

[bobcocampo]

If lowering cholesterol will kill you faster why are you promoting food that will lower your cholesterol?
