First, it would help to understand why having high cholesterol is bad for your heart health. Studies have shown that having high LDL cholesterol greatly raises the risk of heart disease, heart attack, and stroke. This is because elevated LDL cholesterol causes plaque to form in the arteries. This makes it tougher for blood to flow and makes the heart work harder. Certain foods that fight this inflammation and are high in antioxidants include nuts, spices, and herbs, as well as vegetables, fruit, and plant-based proteins like beans, chickpeas, and tofu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Bhavna Suri,<\/a> a cardiologist at Manhattan Cardiology and a contributor to LabFinder, believes that raspberries are a food that is exceptionally good at lowering cholesterol when taken frequently. Dr. Suri notes that modest studies have shown that eating raspberries raises HDL cholesterol (the good sort) and lowers LDL cholesterol (the bad kind). However, no significant scientific research has examined whether eating raspberries affects cholesterol levels. These berries are exceptionally strong because they contain a high amount of fiber and antioxidants. Read the article.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
