Eat Walnuts
Spanish researchers fed people with high cholesterol a heart-healthy diet (vegetables, fish, very little red meat or eggs, olive oil as the only cooking fat) for 12 weeks.
For half of the time, the researchers cut the amount of olive oil by 25 percent and made up the fat calories with walnuts.
Though LDL cholesterol levels dropped during both halves
of the 12 weeks, they dropped significantly more during
the walnut weeks.
"These results came from only eight to 11 walnuts a day,"
says Joan Sabate, M.D., Dr.P.H., the study author, from
Loma Linda University in California.
It's possible that a combo of monounsaturated fats (olive
oil) and polyunsaturated fats (walnuts) whacks
cholesterol.
