A few changes in your diet can reduce cholesterol and improve your heart health. Some of these changes include a reduction in the consumption of the amount of saturated fats. These saturated fats are usually found in red meat and full-fat dairy products. It is also important to eat foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids such as fish as well as in soluble fiber such as wheat, fruits and cereals.
