To regulate cholesterol is required to raise the good cholesterol and lowering bad. Not all fats we eat are bad, but some of them is lowering bad cholesterol.
Good fats
Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are the best option as they help lower bad cholesterol levels while maintaining good cholesterol levels. Some foods containing these fats are peanut oil, olive oil, canola oil and nuts. Other recommended fats are avocados and flaxseed, chia seeds and others.
