  1. Oats give you 1 to 2 g of soluble fiber.
  2. Beans are rich in soluble fiber. They also take a while for the body to digest.
  3. Nuts: Eating 2 oz of nuts a day can slightly lower LDL, on the order of 5%.
  4. Foods fortified with sterols and stanols gum up the bodys ability to absorb cholesterol from food. Getting 2 g of plant sterols or stanols a day can lower LDL cholesterol by about 10%.
  5. Fatty fish. Eating fish 2 or 3 times a week can lower LDL cholesterol.
