Almonds
Almonds
are a great cholestrol lowering food. Nearly 70 percent of the fat in
almonts
is mono saturated, a suggested substitute to saturated fats, to reduce
the
cholesterol levels. In fact eating almonds consistently lowers total
cholesterol by four percent. This cholesterol lowering effect is
similar to
heart healthy foods such as oats and soy.
