Hi all. My 44-year-old husband has very high cholesterol. This is a hereditary problem and we are monitoring the situation carefully. I’ve recently discussed his diet with a dietitian, and we truly try to follow everything he says. Anyway, I’ve recently heard that eating porridge can help to reduce cholesterol levels and that it should be included in colestoral diets. Is this true?

Yes, you heard right. Porridge is rich in soluble fibre, which is known to help reduce blood cholesterol. Actually, high cholesterol occurs when fat builds up and constricts the arteries. It is mainly affected by hereditary factors but smoking and lack of exercise can have same effect. Fruits and vegetables are other excellent sources of soluble fibre and may help reduce cholesterol levels too.
