Eat fatty foods to lower your cholesrterol !
Scientists at the Kyushu University have concluded that an Asian diet that includes moderate quantities of walnuts (1/4-1/3 cup), without an overall increase in total dietary fat and energy, lowers serum cholesterol concentration and favourably modifies the serum lipoprotein and fatty acid profile in normal Japanese women and men, without influencing the LDL ‘oxidisability.’
The researchers report that LDL 'bad' cholesterol was lowered by 8.9 per cent in men and 10.6 per cent in women. Total cholesterol was lowered by 3.8 per cent in men and 4.9 per cent in women. There was no significant change in HDL 'good' cholesterol. The results suggest that alpha-linolenic acid in the walnut diet appears to be responsible for lowering LDL cholesterol, particularly in women.
