- and itβs not another supplement.
Hereβs something for all of you taking anti-blitz seriously: if your LDL (βbadβ) cholesterol is high, donβt rush straight to medication. Sometimes, your body just needs a little extra help from fiber, especially the soluble kind.
Think of it as natureβs gentle detox sponge. As it moves through your digestive tract, soluble fiber binds to bile acids (which are made from cholesterol) and helps your body flush them out. Your liver then has to pull cholesterol from your blood to make more bile and this is a natural balancing act that keeps your arteries in better shape over time.
Small changes like adding oats to breakfast, eating apples or trying tossing lentils into a soup can make a surprising difference.
