High levels of cholesterol can lead to heart attacks, but making some changes to your diet can reduce the risk
A medical expert has revealed some of the most important diet swaps you can make in order to reduce the risk of a common 'silent killer' in your body. Cholesterol, although it's vital for performing certain jobs within your system, can be dangerous if too much is present in the body.
The British Heart Foundation reports that almost half of UK adults are living with cholesterol levels above national guidelines of total cholesterol . However, cardiologist Dr Elizabeth Klodas has revealed the top three foods to slash cholesterol levels - all of which contain fibre. Another fibre-rich food you should consider adding to your shopping list is the chickpea, which offers a variety of health benefits. "They’re packed with potassium and magnesium, both important for blood pressure control," said Dr Klodas. "One cup has almost 15 grams of protein, 12 grams of fibre, and one-fourth of your daily iron requirement."
