Flax seeds
So far, we have talked about two components that contribute to lower bad cholesterol levels in the blood. They are fiber and omega 3. However, there are foods that contain both at the same time, and flax seeds are one of them. One single tablespoon of flax seeds will provide 2.8 grams of soluble fiber and a whopping 2340 mg of omega 3 fatty acids. By consuming flax seeds in your salad and adding it to your bread, you will be contributing a lot to your cardiovascular and gastrointestinal health.
