From Jennifer Moll, your Guide to Cholesterol
When I say "brighten up", I don't mean with light -- but with color. Fruits and vegetables in every color can provide you with a variety of nutrients. Some of these nutrients, such as fiber, antioxidants, and phytosterols, can help reduce inflammation and cholesterol levels. This newsletter will show you some ways to add fruits and veggies to your cholesterol-lowering diet.

Can Tomatoes Help Lower Your Cholesterol?

Ways to Include Blueberries in Your Diet
Blueberries are chock-full of many nutrients, and have been shown in some studies to help lower cholesterol. Try these delicious, heart-healthy blueberry recipes.

Phytosterol Content in Fruits & Veggies
Phytosterols, or plant sterols, have been shown to modestly lower LDL, or "bad", cholesterol. Although there are a lot of phytosterol-containing supplements that you could take, fruits and vegetables are among the foods that naturally contain phytosterols.
