There are two
main types of cholesterol in our body, one is HDL (High-density
lipoprotein), also known as 'good cholesterol', while the other is LDL
(Low-density lipoprotein), or 'bad cholesterol'. High levels of LDL is a
contributing factor for heart disease. HDL, on the other hand, helps
transport LDL from the bloodstream to the liver, where it is disposed
off.
Soluble fiber
is most effective for lowering 'bad' cholesterol in our body and helping
to reduce risk of heart disease. A rich source of beta-glucan soluble
fiber is found in oatmeal. This fact, proven through medical research,
has been further confirm by FDA (Food & Drug Administration), which
states that oatmeal, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and
cholesterol, can reduce the risk of heart disease. Daily servings of
oatmeal is recommended for better control of our cholesterol level.
