Foods that help in controlling cholesterol

Oats Having a bowl of oatmeal or a cold oat-based cereal like Cheerios for breakfast is a first step to decrease your cholesterol. You receive 1-2 grams of soluble fibre from it.

Barley and whole grains Barley and other whole grains, including oats and oat bran, can reduce the risk of heart disease, primarily because of the soluble fibre they provide.

Beans Beans are rich in soluble fibre and they take a while for the body to digest, prolonging the time that you feel full after eating. 

Eggplant and Okra The soluble fibre in these two low-calorie vegetables is excellent.

Nuts Numerous studies have demonstrated the heart-health benefits of eating nuts like almonds, walnuts, peanuts, and others.

Vegetable Oils When cooking or at the table, using liquid vegetable oils such canola, sunflower, safflower, and others for butter, lard, or shortening helps decrease LDL.

Soyabean It was originally recommended that eating soybeans and products manufactured from them, such as tofu and soy milk, would significantly cut cholesterol.
