    5 summer fruits eaten daily reduce cholesterol

Written by: Walaa Hafez

The summer season is rich in a variety of fruits that are beneficial to human health, some of which play a major role in enhancing heart health by reducing harmful cholesterol in the blood.

1- Apples

Apples help reduce harmful cholesterol in the blood very effectively, and the reason is because they contain a high percentage of water-soluble fiber.

Nutrition experts advise eating apples without peeling them, because the outer peel is characterized by its high content of polyphenols, an antioxidant substance that contributes to lowering high blood pressure.

2- Pear

In some studies, researchers found that pears reduce the risk of blockages and atherosclerosis, thanks to their great ability to reduce the absorption of cholesterol in the body from fatty foods.

3- Banana

A rich source of potassium, which stimulates blood circulation, strengthens the heart muscle, regulates blood pressure, reduces harmful cholesterol, and prevents fluid retention in the body.

4- Avocado

Harmful cholesterol in the blood decreases when you regularly eat avocados, because they contain oleic acid, which also helps in lowering high blood pressure and regulating blood sugar levels.

5- Strawberry

Some studies have revealed that harmful cholesterol in the blood is significantly reduced when eating 10 to 15 strawberries daily, because they contain a high percentage of dietary fiber.
