Cholesterol is a fatty substance which is made in the liver. It’s found in some foods too. We all need some cholesterol in our bodies just to keep us ticking over but having too much can clog up your arteries and lead to health problems in the future such as heart attack or stroke. Breakfast is a vital meal for various health conditions as it helps stabilise a number of mechanisms. When it comes to high cholesterol, what are the best choices?
According to Healthline, breakfast ideas to help lower your cholesterol include:
- Oatmeal
- Almond milk
- Avocado toast
- Egg white scramble with spinach
- Whey protein smoothie
- Smoked salmon on a whole-wheat bread.
Oatmeal contains soluble fibre, which reduces your low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, the “bad” cholesterol.
Soluble fibre can reduce the absorption of cholesterol into your bloodstream.
According to Cleveland Clinic, eating just one and one-half cups of cooked oatmeal a day can lower your cholesterol by 5 to 8 percent.
After this initial five weeks, each participant completed five weeks of three different treatment diets – a low-fat, moderate-fat or high-fat diet.
And the moderate-fat diet included a daily serving of avocado.
After five weeks of the avocado diet, participants had “significantly” lower levels of oxidised “bad” cholesterol.
