🚨 High Cholesterol? Fill Your Basket with These Heart-Healthy Essentials! 🚨
Nutrition expert Anita Wong is back with some top picks to help tackle high cholesterol, and you can grab these during your next supermarket sweep! 🛒✨
🥜 **Nuts**: Boost your diet with walnuts, pistachios, or peanuts! High in healthy fats and fibre, they help sweep out cholesterol. Perfect in your cereal or tossed in a salad.
🥦 **Dark Green Veggies**: Load up on spinach, kale, broccoli, and cauliflower. Packed with fibre and plant chemicals, they’ll help rid your body of cholesterol naturally.
🍠 **Sweet Potato**: Rich in fibre, these ‘whole carbs’ slow sugar release and escort cholesterol from the body. Plus, they’re delicious!
🐟 **Omega-3 Rich Fish**: Go for mackerel over pricey salmon. More omega-3 and budget-friendly! Your heart will thank you.
🍗 **Chicken Breast**: A lean protein hero! Opt for the breast over thighs to keep fat levels in check. For whole chickens, trim that fat!
🥛 **Kefir Yoghurts**: Got dairy tolerance? These are packed with beneficial bacteria to maintain gut health and push cholesterol through.
🧃 **Cholesterol-Lowering Drinks**: These beverages, boosted with plant stanols, can support your journey to healthier cholesterol levels.
Remember, the NHS reminds us: To cut cholesterol, cut down on fatty foods, especially those high in saturated fat. Switch to healthier unsaturated fats, and check food labels for a heart-smart shop. 🏃♀️💪
