Want to know more about cholesterol?
Cholesterol plays some beneficial roles in your
body – making cells, hormones, and tissues. But too much blood cholesterol can
build up in your arteries and put you at risk for heart disease. Aim for a
total cholesterol level below 200mg/dl.
Simple changes, like adding heart-healthy foods with soluble fiber to a diet
low in saturated fat and cholesterol, can help you reach you cholesterol goals.
Cheerios has one gram of soluble fiber per serving. Three grams of soluble
fiber daily from whole grain oats foods, like Cheerios, in a diet low in
saturated fat and cholesterol, may lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of
heart disease.
