Could eating this cheap snack help?
To lower your cholesterol levels, you are encouraged to eat a diet high in healthy fats, while avoiding too much saturated fat.
The NHS says: “To reduce your cholesterol, try to cut down on fatty food, especially food that contains a type of fat called saturated fat.
“You can still have foods that contain a healthier type of fat called unsaturated fat.”
Healthy fats are found in nuts and avocados, olive oil and oily fish.
Plant sterols, found in vegetable oils, have been shown to block cholesterol absorption, helping to bring your cholesterol reading down.
One of the best foods to snack on to lower cholesterol is Brazil nuts.
