Research suggest that eating apples or drinking apple juice may slow the oxidation of LDL cholesterol and help prevent plaque buildup. It is a perfect snack, just make sure that you eat the skin also to get plenty of antioxidants and fiber.
Fatty Fish
The omega-3s they supply have been shown to lower triglyceride levels. Put coldwater fish on the menu twice a week. Best choices are white tuna, salmon, sardines, and spanish mackerel.
Grapefuit
It’s loaded with antioxidants and soluble fiber, which help reduce heart disease. Have half a grapfruit with breakfast 3 or 4 days a week.
Legumes
They lower LDL. Eat hummus with raw vegetables as an afternoon snack. Or work 1/2 cup black beans, kidney beans, lentilsm red beans or soybeans into your menu daily.
