Increased level ” “bad” cholesterol in the body can eventually lead to various health problems, including heart attack and stroke. To reduce it, nutritionist Oleksiy Kovalkov advised to include three products in the diet.

The expert noted that to normalize the cholesterol level, it is necessary to consume enough protein and fiber. The last one, for example, is rich bran, he added. In addition, the doctor included in this list pectins, which are formed in late-harvested apples.

“These dark specks can be cut, added to a jar, only without sugar – just freeze and then eat. They contain a lot of pectin,” the nutritionist said.

He also recommended removing fast carbohydrates from the diet and leaving complex ones. According to him, their amount should not exceed 110-115 g per day, but the ideal option is to calculate the indicator individually, taking into account physical and mental loads. Kovalkov also advised to cure diseases that lead to reactive inflammation associated with an increase in cholesterol: gastritis, colitis, sinusitis, enteritis, and sore teeth.
