One food is Avocados.. Noy everyone likes the taste of avocados. Avocados are renowned for their heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. These fats aid in lowering LDL cholesterol while maintaining levels of HDL cholesterol. Additionally, avocados are rich in potassium, a nutrient that helps in regulating blood pressure. I was eating too many per week and it started to cause arthritis. It is because too many avocados are not great for Blood Type O. Several studies indicate that consuming avocados regularly can lead to significant reductions in total cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
I love this next food- Oatmeal. I usually cook McMann’s Old Fashioned Oatmea; on the weekend. This was I have it for the next four days I particularly like this in the Fall and Winter Oatmeal is a powerhouse of soluble fiber, which plays a key role in cholesterol management.

The next food source is also a type of fiber. These are white beans White beans are a fantastic source of fiber, which is essential for lowering cholesterol.
