These 7 Food Types
Drive Bad Cholesterol from Your Body
Eggs were, for example, considered a complete
no-no until recently. Whereas recent studies have proven the cholesterol in eggs actually improves your heart health (in moderation).
Many
vegetable oils, on the other hand, were praised in the 80s and 90s as magical
heart health substances (and still recommended by many doctors). Now, it’s a
fact that they’re high in omega-6 fatty acids, which harm your arteries.
Cholesterol performs some essential health functions.
Without it, you would be dead. The problem is that most people’s diets either
contain too much of it, or too many foods that trigger their livers to make too
much of the bad cholesterol.
Cholesterol travels through your bloodstream in parcels
called lipoproteins.
HDL cholesterol, or high-density lipoprotein, is
known as the good cholesterol. These parcels carry cholesterol towards your liver to be broken down and expelled
from your body if there is too much to meet your health needs.
LDL
cholesterol, or low-density lipoprotein, is the bad cholesterol. It delivers cholesterol to all cells
in your body. However, if there is too much of it, it simply hangs around your
blood stream and builds up in your arteries.
Clear Bad Cholesterol
Method 1-
Soluble fiber
Soluble
fiber is not digestible. When it passes through your intestines, it binds to
cholesterol and drags it straight out of your body before it can be absorbed.
Eat some oats or barley for breakfast topped with blueberries, a bean salad for lunch, apples as snacks,
and some asparagus, Brussels sprouts, or turnips for supper.
Clear Bad Cholesterol
Method 2 -
Your body wants to absorb fat from your
intestines.
If
you eat enough foods that contain phytosterols (plant cholesterol), it will
absorb this fat from plants rather than from trans-fats and fatty meat and dairy. Phytosterol is HDL cholesterol, while the latter fats are LDL
cholesterol. Eat plenty of unrefined vegetable oils, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, lettuce, capers, beet greens, cucumbers,
raw asparagus and cauliflower.
Clear Bad Cholesterol
Method 3 -
Omega-3 fatty acids
Omega-3
fatty acids increase HDL cholesterol while lowering LDL cholesterol.
Flaxseeds and flaxseed oils are the best plant sources, while the Mayo Clinic
recommends fish like mackerel, lake trout, herring, sardines, albacore tuna,
salmon, and halibut as the best animal sources.
Clear Bad Cholesterol
Method 4 -
Nuts
Nuts have several benefits. They contain plenty of healthy
monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, fiber, plant proteins, minerals,
plant cholesterol, and phytochemicals, all thought to have cholesterol-lowering
effects. Scientists suspect that they also contain other healthy chemicals not
yet been identified. Macadamias, pecans, almonds, pistachios, hazelnuts, and
walnuts are especially good.
Clear Bad Cholesterol
Method 5 –
Lycopene
Lycopene, a carotenoid found in tomatoes, is known to
lower LDL cholesterol. Your body seems to absorb more of it when the tomatoes
are cooked or processed, so go for lots of tomato sauce, tomato juice, and
cooked tomatoes in pastas and stews.
Clear Bad Cholesterol
Method 6 – Catechins
Research has proven that the catechins that occur in green
and black tea can lower LDL and total cholesterol levels. Now you have a great
excuse for a long tea break.
Clear Bad Cholesterol
Method 7 – Isoflavones
Isoflavones are substances found in soy that give soy
products their cholesterol-lowering effects. Eat plenty of edamame, the tasty
green soybeans that you can eat as a snack or include in a large variety of
dishes.
These
are just a few suggestions. Lowering your overall cholesterol level and most
importantly clearing out clogged arteries requires a strong strategy.
It’s
not hard to do and you don’t have to make huge lifestyle changes. But you must
have a solid plan and follow it.

This post is from the
Oxidized Cholesterol Strategy Program created by Scott Davis. He once suffered
from High Cholesterol so much that he even had a severe heart attack. This is what
essentially led him to finding healthier alternatives to conventional
medication.
The program is highly
focused on eliminating one simple ingredient you consume every single day, an
ingredient you had no idea you were even putting it your body. What’s
scary is that this ingredient isn’t even listed on the label of many common
food choices. It’s terrifying stuff! So, this system starts you off with
valuable information about this one simple ingredient, what it’s doing to your
body and what you can do about it. But it doesn’t end there.
The Oxidized
Cholesterol Strategy goes on to
teach you a wide range of diet, fitness, lifestyle, exercise, sleep and eating
tips that will help you maximize your results. More importantly, these tips
will help completely clean out any plaque build-up in your arteries.
