54% of the American population has unhealthy cholesterol levels.  Soluble fiber and phytosterols are nature’s most potent cholesterol-lowering agents.  Here is where you can get the most of each from mother earth’s apothecary:

• Soluble fiber – beans, peas, barley, flax seeds, oats, oat bran, chia seeds, avocado, carrots, collards, and oranges.
• Phytosterols – sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and pistachios.
