Bananas are high in carbohydrates, rich in potassium, niacin, and vitamin C. They also contain pectin, a type of soluble fiber, that is believed to help lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol levels. Due to their high levels of natural sugar, which provide a natural energy boost, and potassium, which is essential for muscle and nerve performance, bananas are a favorite snack for endurance athletes.

I am 58, and was the same, and have been taking medicine for my high cholesterol and blood pressure. It is going out to eat often that effected my levels including triglycerides that was 950. Since started to eat at home more often and eat properly, my level dropped about 250. My good cholesterol increased too. So, it is going to the restaurants that is bad because does not allow to control the fat intake. I also quit smoking and am walking a lot too. The pills are there to prevent any clogging, along with blood thinners with aspirin.

Cholesterol in food comes from animal sources. Not fruit.
Blood cholesterol can come from 1. food, 2. your own liver
You can also run into trouble with high trans fat foods.

Fruits and vegetables do not have cholesterol as cholesterol is a steroid found only in meat and organ meat.
