By choosing the right foods, you can help reduce the bad cholesterol (LDL) in your blood and increase the good cholesterol (HDL) which helps your body get rid of the bad cholesterol. Planning a heart-healthy diet means knowing which foods to eat more of and which foods to avoid. It means steaming, broiling, or grilling instead of frying. It also means controlling your portion size, selecting nutrient-rich foods and limiting fats and alcohol.

Everyone?s body treats food differently. The same amount of food may have entirely different effects on different people.
