  • The good news is, you can do something about it! You can lower your cholesterol levels in a variety of ways, from eating monounsaturated fats (e.g. nuts and olive oil) and polyunsaturated fats (e.g. fish and canola oil) to taking medication.

The article from MSN discusses a study published in the *Journal of Nutrition* which highlights the cholesterol-lowering benefits of consuming avocados. According to the research, avocados are rich in monounsaturated fats, fiber, and phytosterols, all of which contribute to reducing LDL (bad) cholesterol levels. The study found that participants who included one avocado per day in their diet experienced significant reductions in LDL cholesterol compared to those who did not. Additionally, avocados were noted for their potential to improve overall heart health due to their nutrient profile, which includes potassium, vitamin E, and antioxidants. The article suggests that incorporating avocados into a balanced diet could be a simple yet effective strategy for managing cholesterol levels.
