According to British cardiologists, lowering cholesterol can contribute three food products.

In particular, a product that has a cholesterol-lowering effect is flaxseed, as well as linseed oil. Cardiologists explain this effect of the product by the action of alpha-linolenic acid contained in it, which belongs to the group of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Once in the body, it helps to reduce the concentration of triglycerides and fatty deposits in the blood.

Artichokes are another cholesterol-lowering product named by cardiologists. A study in which the participants used them for six weeks showed an 18 percent decrease in cholesterol.

In addition, fiber, which binds its particles and activates their removal from the body with feces, has a cholesterol-lowering effect.
