How can I lower my cholesterol with onions?

Question

Which onions will work (white, green, red, yellow, etc), and do they have to be cooked or raw?

Answer 1

Well, if you eat onions instead of cholesterol rich or cholesterol producing foods yes, but onions are not proven to bring down cholesterol levels in and of themselves.

Foods rich in oat bran, however, like oatmeal and certain breads and cereals, are.

Answer 2

Well, my friend. At least you are concerned about it. Eggs have a lot of cholesterol. Sausage has a lot of cholesterol. Cheese has a lot of cholesterol. Almost all dairy products have a lot of cholesterol. Watch your salad dressings, they contain bad stuff as well. Eat lots of leafy, green vegetables. Lean meat such as chicken, turkey, but don't fry it, bake or broil and get a can of cooking spray. Oatmeal is excellent in reducing cholesterol. So are Cheerios (don't particularly like but just info). Get yourself a paperback that lists the worst foods for cholesterol. Sometimes, high cholesterol is genetic. I take red yeast rice (in capsule form and over the counter) It works. Good luck. You will get is done. Try to keep your cholesterol under 200.

Answer 3

Go on a diet that is free of partially hydrogenated fats, animal fats and butter. You will be surprised at how much you can lower your cholesterol level in a short time (2 weeks).
