Oats
A bowl of oatmeal contains 1 to 2 grams of soluble fiber. This type of fiber binds to cholesterol and helps your body flush it out. Not a fan of hot cereal in the morning? Make a batch of banana oat pancakes for a fresh take on the classic breakfast.
Beans
Like oatmeal, beans are rich in soluble fiber; they flush out unwanted cholesterol with each bite. They’re also high in protein, so they’ll keep you full hours after your meal. Just add 1/2 cup to your daily lunch salad or whip up a delicious garbanzo bean recipe for dinner.
