To reduce cholesterol, exercise can work best if accompanied with proper diet. Here we are suggesting some diet changes to help you further: 1. You should consume olive oil and products made from it. As it is heart friendly oil. Also you can take olives with your salad. 2. You should take fiber rich food like legumes, whole grain products, brown rice, vegetables and fruits, nuts and beans preferably soybeans in any form, try to eat daily. 3. Prefer fat free or low fat dairy products, specially fat free yogurt, rather than regular dairy items. 4. Garlic is plays very important role in controlling cholesterol. Either consume garlic in daily diet, or have 2-3 cloves of garlic daily. 5. Eat fish at least 3 times a week. Prefer oily fish like salmon, tuna, as they contain omega-3 fatty acids which are heart friendly. 6. Give emphasis on using vegetables, salads and fruits in your diet. As they are high on fiber, low on fat, make you full early and are rich in antioxidants. All these things are helpful to lower cholesterol values. 7. Oatmeals or oats are well known to reduce cholesterol levels. 8. Cut back on food high in total fat or trans fat like cokies, pastries, cakes, fried food, junk food and fast food. If these changes will also prove less effective, you can consider taking medication to lower the cholesterol levels.
