Foods that aid in lowering cholesterol levels, identified by a nutritionist

Dr. Mikhail Ginzburg, a Russian nutrition expert, said that controlling blood cholesterol levels helps prevent many serious health problems.

In an interview with the Vechernyaya Moskva newspaper, the expert notes that there are products that help lower blood cholesterol levels.

According to him, there are four groups of nutrients that help normalize blood composition and maintain blood cholesterol levels. These materials:

Foods rich in dietary fiber. These products include: whole grain bread, buckwheat, fruits, fruits and vegetables.

And he adds, explaining: Dietary fiber binds bile acids in the intestine and prevents them from being absorbed, which forces the body to look for another source of cholesterol for cells. Thanks to this, “bad” cholesterol is converted into “good”.

– Legumes, legumes have a similar mechanism.

According to him, legumes, in addition to a high percentage of dietary fiber, contain a special protein that contains fewer amino acids compared to animal protein.

Sour-milk products: Sour-milk products improve the intestinal microflora, that is, they have an anti-inflammatory effect in the body.

These foods doctors include foods rich in Omega-3: olive oil, flaxseed oil, fish oil and oily fish.

The expert emphasizes that these products normalize the composition of fats in the blood and help lower cholesterol levels.
