4 products for the health of the heart and blood vessels
0
Increased level of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) , which are often called “bad” cholesterol, negatively affects the state of the cardiovascular system. To avoid problems with the heart and blood vessels, it is necessary to adjust your diet.
Experts of the National Center for Education in the field of nutrition (Poland) found that certain changes in the diet can reduce the level of total cholesterol in the blood by up to 25%. Experts recommend regularly including four foods in your menu.
Oatmeal
A serving of oatmeal contains one to two grams of soluble dietary fiber, which helps reduce blood cholesterol level. In addition, oatmeal saturates well and helps to avoid excessive snacking, and therefore prevent excess weight.
Beans
Nuts
Mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids contained in nuts are necessary for the normal functioning of the cardiovascular system. A few nuts per day (almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, pine nuts) can lower blood cholesterol by up to 5%. It is important to use nuts without any flavor additives, including without salt and sugar.
