These are the six foods that

Like other types of soluble ,fiber pectin forms a mass in your stomach that
traps cholesterol and carries it out of your body before it can be absorbed into
your bloodstream [where it contribute to clogged arteries] One medium orange
provides about 2 to 3 mg of soluble fiber as well as other beneficial nutrients
such as vitamins C, foliate and potassium, you have to eat oranges in order to
benefits from their fiber content so put your juicer aside and choose thick
skinned varieties for the best taste and easiest peeling. OATS ,Here are you
probably know about already but you may not be aware of some of the less
conventional forms of uses for this soluble fiber rich grain. While oatmeal is
an abious winner, oat flour is another versatile option. If cant find it in the
places you typically shop, you can make your own by pulverizing rolled oats in a
food processor, Oats flour can be substituted for up to half the all purpose
flour in most pancake and muffin. Beans & Lentils. These are high in fiber and

salmon fish which is rich in omega 3 fatty acids its a lower cholesterol levels
and they are reduce blood levels of artery clogging. Pistatio and nuts .It is
great source of phytosterols the natural plant compounds that block absorption
