Apples

Apples are an excellent fruit to include in your cholesterol-lowering diet because they are high in healthy nutrients, including cholesterol-friendly components like fiber and polyphenols, and low in fat.

Apples are one of the fruits with the most fiber, and they include pectin, which is a form of soluble fiber. Soluble fiber can help decrease your LDL (low-density lipoprotein) levels by lowering the amount of cholesterol absorbed into your bloodstream. Pectin fiber not only helps lower cholesterol, but the pectin found in apples is among the best for cholesterol-lowering from fruit sources, according to research published in the European Journal of Nutrition. You should consume the entire apple, including the peel, which is high in pectin and other soluble fibers, to acquire all of the healthful nutrients included in apples.
