Green tea

Green tea appears to help lower total and LDL cholesterol levels because it contains catechins and other antioxidant compounds.

Tomato juice

A substance called lycopene, which is abundant in tomatoes, may help lower elevated cholesterol.

Oat drinks

It contains a substance called beta-glucans, which aids in the formation of a gel-like layer in the intestines, reducing the absorption of cholesterol.

Plant-based milk

Due to the presence of polyunsaturated fatty acids, which may lower LDL cholesterol, plant-based milk, such as almond milk, can help you lower high cholesterol levels.

Berry smoothies

Numerous berries are high in fibre and antioxidants. Specifically, the antioxidants found in berries called anthocyanins can lower cholesterol.

Cocoa drinks

Cocoa contains an antioxidant known as flavanol, which may help lower bad cholesterol levels in the body.
