Lower Your Cholesterol with These 3 Meals
I am here to tell you how I lowered
my cholesterol 44 points [Music] I was eating a lot of convenience foods and
fast foods throughout covid because it was just a stressful time and once I got that lab report
back and it showed my numbers were so high I knew I needed to make a change so the things I started
focusing on was limiting or avoiding the fast food and I started incorporating more high fiber foods
and also more healthy fats such as olive oil and healthy fatty fishes like salmon and tuna so for
breakfast a great example of how I was able to increase my fiber was to do overnight oats it's
quick it's simple and it's very fast I just did a half cup of oats half a cup of milk and I did a
tablespoon of Chia seeds which helps to boost up the fiber a little bit more and then I added in a
blend of blueberries blackberries and raspberries that were frozen and I just left them in overnight
and they all soak up together and make a perfect breakfast that's on the go and easy up next would
be something that I need to snack on maybe between breakfast and lunch or lunch and dinner or even
at bedtime but again I want to focus on something that's going to give me some lean protein some
healthy fats and some Fiber so I've got two little oranges here which is actually a serving of
oranges that are very easy to peel for on the go things and also a handful of nuts so I've just got
some cashews here and these are again filled with fiber they've got the healthy fats and they also
have protein so it's a very well balanced snack and last but not least this could be a lunch or
a dinner for us a very well variety of items here so I've got salmon which is going to be again that
healthy fat those Omega-3s and omega-6s that help to reduce our cholesterol without contributing
more cholesterol we've got broccoli here that's going to be filled with fiber and then also some
whole grain rice also mixed with quinoa which is going to help provide soluble fiber that helps
to reduce our cholesterol so everything on this plate helps to reduce cholesterol if you need
help one-on-one counseling we do offer that here at Northside through our outpatient Nutrition
department and you can find that on our website foreign
