It’s like a western movie. There are two types of cholesterol: ‘good’ and ‘bad’ . The moment of truth comes when the two face each other and duel. So that there is a happy ending… Take the side of the ‘good’!
Eggplant and soy to boost ‘good’ cholesterol
It is not an excessively nutritious food, but it has an advantage over all the others. And it is that the eggplant has the ability to increase the levels of ‘good’ cholesterol. The grandmothers trusted it a lot but, yes, they recommended cooking it without added fat .
In Eastern countries they don’t know what cholesterol is. The reason for this ‘ignorance’ is soy. Daily consumption of this vegetable increases ‘good’ cholesterol by 9 percent. You can take it in any of its forms (fresh sprouts, tofu, milk…), but for a stronger effect, there is nothing better than soy lecithin. Take a tablespoon of this supplement daily.
Tisanes ‘eat fat’
There are a number of plants that, taken as an infusion, are capable of standing up to ‘bad’ cholesterol. Take two cups of dandelion, lavender, fumaria or mint infusion a day and you will see how you manage to increase the levels of ‘good’ cholesterol in your body.
