Combining psyllium with a low-fat diet for as little as 8 weeks has been shown to reduce LDL-cholesterol without adversely affecting HDL-cholesterol levels. Under professional supervision, psyllium may be particularly beneficial for patients with type 2 diabetes, because it can also help control their blood glucose level and insulin responses after meals.




Turmeric
Curcuma longa
Cholesterol-clearing spice

Turmeric is another culinary spice that supports heart and blood vessel health. It contains a yellow-coloured pigment called curcumin - the compound that is credited with most of the herb's medicinal benefit. Curcumin has been shown to lower levels of total cholesterol, increase levels of HDL-cholesterol ("good" cholesterol), and protect both HDL- and LDL-cholesterol from the damaging effects of free redical activity. In laboratory studies, it has been shown to help lower blood pressure and reduce the ability of cholesterol to form plaque on artery walls.
