Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, but our country is at the forefront of negative statistics.

To keep our hearts healthy, we must lead a healthy lifestyle and limit risk factors.

An important risk factor is bad cholesterol.

High intake of animal fats is associated with increased levels of total and “bad” cholesterol. Increased intake of vegetable fats and fish fats can reduce total and “bad” cholesterol in the blood.

The main sources of vegetable fats are: vegetable oils, oatmeal, avocados, nuts and seeds. Fish fats are very useful for reducing the formation of blood clots, which in turn leads to a reduction in the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Plant foods (fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes) contain vegetable fibers, which help to remove cholesterol from the body. Also, plant-based foods contain substances with antioxidant effects that protect fatty acids, which are part of cell membranes, from oxidation in the body and thus reduce the risk of atherosclerotic changes in the vessels.

When a healthy diet is not enough, #Olicholine is an alternative for reducing bad cholesterol.

Stay healthy!
