Olive oil
You may find it difficult to believe that you can actually reduce your levels of cholesterol (a fatty acid) by consuming olive oil (which is composed of fatty acids). However, the good thing about olive oil is that it contains the right fatty acids and not the atherogenic type. In other words, these monosaturated fats in olive oil and its proportion in Omega 3 will balance your cholesterol levels instead of making them worse. One teaspoon of olive oil provides 3 grams of monounsaturated fatty acids and a bit more than 30 milligrams of omega 3.
