Health choices, healthy heart

What you eat can make a big difference to your cholesterol levels and heart health. We all need some cholesterol in our bodies just to keep us ticking over, but having too much can clog up arteries and lead to health problems in the future. By getting a simple cholesterol test and making positive lifestyle changes, most people can keep their cholesterol levels healthy.

Here are six cholesterol busting foods to add to your daily diet:

Foods rich in unsaturated fats
Vegetable oils, avocado, nuts, seeds and oily fish

Fruit & vegetables
Remember your five-a-day!

Nuts
Almonds, macadamias, brazil, cashew, hazelnuts, walnuts and pecans

Oats & Barley

Foods with added sterols & stanols
