The majority of Britons have unhealthy cholesterol levels - a key factor in developing heart disease, which claims three times more lives than breast cancer and twice as many as lung cancer. The good news is that lowering your cholesterol is one of the biggest things you can do to reduce your risk.
Doctors agree food not drugs is often the best way first to tackle the problem. This is not a weight loss diet but a recipe book based on the very latest medical research into foods that have an active role in reducing cholesterol.
It's not about cutting anything out but including six food-types: fibres such as beans and pulses, nuts, soya, healthy oils, oats and grains, and smartfoods. You can even eat cheese, red meat, eggs and shellfish. By incorporating the 'six foods' into your diet, you will be able to reduce your cholesterol by up to 20 per cent in three months.
Our authors combine their medical and nutritional experience to create delicious recipes that contain cholesterol-lowering ingredients that all the family will enjoy.
