Expert Says Four Foods May 'Fight Back' Against High Cholesterol
- Dietitian Angie Jefferson said on 2025-06-01 that certain foods may help reduce high cholesterol, a silent health risk affecting millions in the UK.
- High cholesterol often shows no symptoms but leads to fatal heart attacks or strokes, prompting advice to use food alongside prescribed medication.
- Jefferson highlighted plant sterols, stanols, beta-glucan from oats and barley, nuts, and soya as dietary options to naturally support cholesterol management.
- She noted that plant sterols and stanols resemble cholesterol in their structure, which allows them to reduce the amount of cholesterol your intestines absorb, and advised consuming at least 3 grams per day.
- These dietary strategies, combined with 150 minutes of weekly exercise and reducing certain saturated fats, could help lower cholesterol and improve heart health.
