Here are some common sense steps you can take immediately to being to bring your cholesterol levels under control:

Increase the amount of fruits and vegetables in your diet. Every nutritional study in the last 20 years says that we do not have enough fruits or vegetables in our diets. By adding the recommended 5 servings daily, you will get a lot more fiber and zero cholesterol. Tip: smoothies are a wonderful way to get fruit and veggies in your diet.

Fiber is good for you. In addition to fruits and vegetables, some other foods high in healthy fiber are oatmeal, beans, and whole grains like barley, wheat, and Chia.

Omega-3 fatty acid. There is now an established body of scientific research proving that omega-3 fatty acids are wonderful at reducing cholesterol levels. Omega-3 fatty acids are traditionally found in seafood such as salmon. However, many are concerned with seafood contamination or have chosen a vegetarian lifestyle. For these individuals, omega-3 can be found in fish oil capsules or from botanical sources such as Chia seed.

Cut back on Red Meat.

Broiling and grilling will help reduce the amount of fat in the meat and will still taste great.

Even if you are on cholesterol lowering medication, following these simple steps will help you control your cholesterol and provide a healthier lifestyle at the same time.

Numerous studies have shown that “Salva Hispanica”, Chia Seed, is an important botanical source of omega-3 fatty acids and dietary fiber.
