Studies say that “Plants” help lower cholesterol
Yes.
More and more studies are now confirming that plant sterols do actually help to lower the “bad” cholesterol (LDL-cholesterol) levels in your blood.
Although lowering saturated and hydrogenated fats in your diet are the most important things to change, if you are struggling to lower your cholesterol with changes to your lifestyle, then try including some plant sterols and see if it will help.
There are lots of products available now which contain these. Go for the ones that contain at least 2g, as 2g per day is the amount needed regularly to take an effect.
So, if you feel stuck, why not try some as part of your heathly lifestyle.
Until soon with more musings…
