Top 3 foods that help regulate cholesterol

For those of you who have an interest in staying healthy, it's important to understand what cholesterol is and how you can regulate the levels of it in your body.
Many people hear the word cholesterol and assume something negative; however cholesterol is not always bad.
Indeed, some cholesterol is good for you and will clear away blockages in your arteries.
However, bad cholesterol (which a lot of people have in high proportions), will make the passageways of your blood vessels narrow dramatically.
This fatty substance can clog up your arteries, leading to heart attacks and other respiratory illnesses.
Because of the serious ramifications of having high cholesterol, it is important that you know how to regulate cholesterol, starting with foods that help keep your levels healthy.
Garlic
Many individuals choose to add garlic to their diet, whether through herbal supplements or in their food, to help lower cholesterol levels.
In studies surrounding garlic and cholesterol, most used about one-half gram or one gram of garlic per day.
Overall, the studies found that the cholesterol-lowering abilities of garlic appear to be dose-dependent, meaning that the more garlic you eat, the lower your cholesterol will drop.
Oats
Oatmeal contains soluble fibre, which reduces the bad type of cholesterol which can cause high cholesterol.
Soluble fiber works by limiting the amount of cholesterol that can be absorbed into your bloodstream.
It's easy to incorporate oats into your diet by having a bowl of porridge or muesli to begin your day.
Olive oil
Olive oil and olive products are rich in vitamin E and monounsaturated fatty acids.
These help get rid of the bad type of cholesterol and increase the good - which should protect your heart from high cholesterol related illnesses.
Olive oil is easy to cook with, so adding it to your diet should be no problem.

- Carrot Oil for Face Feb 19, 2021Hello :) Carrot Oil contains Beta Carotene and Vitamin A which, by eliminating toxic build-up and repairing sun-damaged skin, helps to improve skin complexion. Antiseptic properties also assist in reducing breakouts and the formation of acne. It is also great for hydrating the skin. So mixing it with Jojoba oil may help. I would also recommend mixing Jojoba oil and Tamanu oil as both have great moisturising properties and are great for acne prone skin. Hope this helps!

- Ashwagandha Dosage for AnxietyFeb 04, 2021I found a supplement that is 500 mg, 120 Count. Do you recommend taking 1 capsule daily? or 2 capsules? I also take thyroid medication and an SSRI among other things.
- The amazing Ashwagandha benefits for womenFeb 04, 2021Hello Dia, Thank you for your comment. Research is confusing when it comes to testosterone levels with PCOS and using Ashwagandha. As it is an adaptogenic herb, it will 'adapt' to the environment of the body to support hormonal balance. A huge therapeutic benefit of Ashwagandha is its ability to balance cortisol levels, which could improve stress and symptoms of PCOS also. If you are currently using any medications or under medical supervision, please seek advice from your practitioner to ensure there are no interactions. I hope this helps :)

- The amazing Ashwagandha benefits for womenJan 20, 2021Hi Simie, thank you for your message. Ashwagandha is safe to be taken alongside other supplements including Vitamin E and Calcium. We would advise you check with your GP for interactions with estrogen medications for menopause as there are different variations of these medications. I hope this helps :)
