In fact, various studies have shown, fibrous foods, especially fiber type betaglukan able to reduce bad cholesterol levels (low densy lipoprotein / LDL) in blood. If low levels of LDL in the blood, the cardiovascular health becomes more assured.

Betaglukan fibers themselves can be found in processed grain products, known as oats or oatmeal. Like jelly oat fiber that can bind fat in the blood and threw it through the dirt.

Does not end there, research conducted in America found that oats or wheat fiber is soluble fiber that can lower LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol), without lowering HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol).

High levels of LDL is the main cause of increased cases of coronary heart disease. Although there is a faster pharmacological therapy for lowering LDL, but treatment with wheat cereal consumption is more healthy and without side effects, although it takes some time.

To get the maximum results, every day a person should consume 70 grams of oats. The amount to be precise, because if excessive, the result will not be maximized. One thing that is not less important as lowering cholesterol levels in the blood is by exercising regularly.

Cholesterol is particularly virulent, is blamed as the cause of coronary heart disease because it causes blood vessels clogged and harden (atherosclerosis). As a result, blood flow is not smooth or clogged. If the blocked blood flow to the heart is, then the place of coronary heart disease (CHD). If lead to brain, then the stroke occurred. It could also hinder the blood circulation in the legs, causing the black color.

Noted coronary heart disease deserves attention, because until today still ranks first as a human killer. Based on data from the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2001, every year there is approximately 7.2 million deaths from coronary heart disease.

The process is blood vessel blockage occurs faster when more people apply unhealthy lifestyles, such as frequently eating fast food, soft drinks or sweet drinks too often, and not balanced with white water and rarely exercise.

Other fiber sources other than the wheat can also be found in avocado, grapes, apples, berries, and oranges. Avocados contain glutathione antioxidant and beneficial monounsaturated fats to neutralize free radicals and destructive nature of fat in the body.

In wine there, such as flavonoids and catechin quercentin serves to facilitate blood flow, preventing oxidation of bad cholesterol, and reduce the formation of plaques in blood vessels.

Whereas in a lot of apple pectin contained the types of beneficial fiber that helps lower blood cholesterol. Pectin binds cholesterol from food, such as from milk, meat, and eggs, as well as help it to stay in the intestine.
