Food has healing properties, learn more about the things to add to your diet in order to avoid or improve your health.

The best sources are high fiber foods the ones to eat are oat bran and oatmeal. Yep that means cutting out or down on the white bread rolls, buns, biscuits, bagels and such. Oatmeal is such a power house at reducing cholesterol.  It’s really good to. The magic of oatmeal is the soluble fiber is contains. This soluble fiber reduces your low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or the “BAD” cholesterol.

The other sources of soluble fiber are; apples, pears, prunes, kidney beans, barley and my personal favorite mung beans. It doesn’t take much fiber to reduce your cholesterol levels. Adding 1 ½ cups of oatmeal or mung bean soup decreases your total LDL.  It works by actually reducing the absorption of cholesterol in the bloodstream.

Omega acids and fish have gotten so much exposure I won’t bore you with another lecture. But, eating fish is also heart healthy. The consistent levels of omega-3 fatty acids reduce blood pressure plus the risk of blood clots. 

One of my favorite ways to get Omega-3 fatty acids is flax seed.  Ground cold pressed organic flax seed is packed with Omega-3 fatty acids and works just as well if not better than fish as it has many other healthy properties. I’m a vegetarian who occasionally eats fish but prefer the ground flax.  I sprinkle a teaspoon on my oatmeal in the morning making my breakfast a double threat. I wrote an article called how can I shrink my stomach explaining how to use flax for healthy weight loss plus other things. I’ll include it just below this paragraph.

While everyone opts for the quick fix, taking supplements I don’t adhere to that. When you eat the fish itself you also get other vital nutrients. Besides a fresh fish filet is bound to have more live nutrition in it than a bottle of pills that have been exposed to who knows what deteriorating the quality. Heat for example

Who doesn't love nuts? I eat lots of nuts and love them; the health benefits of nuts are tremendous. They aid in brain health just to name one. The nuts you want to eat to reduce your bad cholesterol are almonds, walnuts, and pistachios. Nuts are loaded with polyunsaturated fatty acids which help to keep blood vessels health and pliable easier to stretch and flex maintaining healthy blood flow.

All you need to do is eat a handful of nuts a day and there you have it. In fact most any nuts help reduce cholesterol.  Don’t eat too many nuts they are fattening. Nuts are considered a replacement food for meat in the vegetarian diet. If you think of nuts in this way you won’t overdo it. 

I love green tea so very much. I'm a connoisseur of green tea. I won't go off on my bit about green tea but I will say this I strongly believe in drinking only 100% certified organic tea. I've studied tea extensively and can tell you this unless it's organic it has no doubt been sprayed with a pesticide. This is a common practice in countries who provide the world with tea. It's cheaper to do this and thus the reason. None of us need to drink a beverage made from leaves that would easily absorb any chemicals it came in contact with. I've seen with mine own eyes, planes sweep over large fields of tea spraying pesticides to insure a good crop. Stick with organic and avoid the risk.
