Heart-Healthy Eating: A Simple Guide for Lowering Cholesterol

Taking care of your heart starts with what’s on your plate. If you’re looking to lower your cholesterol, small dietary changes can make a big difference. Here are some simple, effective strategies to support your heart health:

Eat More Fiber

Foods like oats, beans, fruits, and vegetables help lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol.

Choose Healthy Fats

Swap saturated fats for heart-healthy options like olive oil, nuts, and fatty fish.

Incorporate More Plant-Based Foods

A diet rich in whole grains, legumes, and vegetables supports better cholesterol levels.

Limit Sugar and Processed Foods

Reducing added sugars and refined carbs helps manage inflammation and heart health.

Beyond diet, regular exercise, stress management, and quality sleep also play a role in keeping your heart strong.
