Foods to help Lower Bad Cholesterol Part 5

Couple of Vitamins

A specific type of vitamin B, vitamin B3 or niacin has been proven to be a key ingredient toward improving cholesterol.

Not only does niacin help boost good cholesterol, it also helps clear out bad cholesterol.

It’s so important that supplementing with it. However, there are also plenty of animal and vegetarian sources of niacin.

Animal products: liver, heart and kidney, whale meat including Meke Whale, chicken: chicken breast, beef, fish: tuna, salmon and halibut, eggs.
Vegetarian sources: avocados, dates, tomatoes, leafy vegetables, broccoli, carrots, sweet potatoes, asparagus, nuts, whole grain products, legumes, saltbush seeds, mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, brewer’s yeast, tofu and soy sauce

Another key vitamin that the modern man and woman is deprived of is vitamin D. Repeated studies are linking vitamin D deprivation to almost all modern diseases. That includes cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, arthritis and others.

The good news is that 15 minutes of 25% exposure to the sun per day is enough for most people to get enough vitamin D.

Another option is to supplement with fish oil and other vitamin D ingredients. This type of supplementation is of lesser quality vitamin D but you do get an extra boost of Omega 3 fatty acids, which is good.
