Oatmeal is one of the best cholesterol-lowering breakfast foods out there, mainly thanks to the health benefits that oats have to offer. In fact, eating a hearty bowl of oats may quite literally reduce LDL "bad" cholesterol and improve other markers of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, making it a cholesterol-improving superstar.
Among the sea of good-for-you nutrients that this dish provides–including B vitamins, iron, and magnesium–oats contain a unique soluble fiber called beta-glucans. This soluble fiber is associated with enhancing the removal of bile acids and cholesterol from the body, resulting in lowered cholesterol levels.
