Karachi: Cholesterol is the root cause of many diseases and this is why adults should take care of it. Experts believe that if breakfast is taken carefully, cholesterol can be significantly reduced.
Cholesterol thickens the blood and affects its flow. It causes blood clots which lead to high blood pressure, stroke and heart disease. In this regard, breakfast plays a very important role.
Halwa Puri, Paratha and Murgh Chhole are also eaten for breakfast in Pakistan and India, which fill the stomach but also cause cholesterol. Experts have suggested that cholesterol can be reduced by adopting certain foods.
Whole grains and oatmeal
Oatmeal is a powerful food that can be purchased as a canned cereal and made part of breakfast. It is rich in nutrients. It is low in calories, but because of its fiber, it is very useful for the whole body. It can also be mixed with seasonal fruits like strawberries, mangoes, blueberries and bananas. Several scientific studies have shown that oatmeal has the potential to lower LDL cholesterol.
Peaches
Avocado is now available in Pakistan as well. It also has the status of a superfood. In America and other countries, it is eaten mixed with eggs. Omelet is also made from it. But the saturated fats in pears are not harmful. On the other hand, a variety of antioxidants provide energy throughout the body.
Yogurt and berries
Yogurt has several compounds that help lower cholesterol. In addition, strawberries and blueberries also reduce cholesterol. Eating them in curd increases the effectiveness and can cure many diseases.
