Start the day with the right breakfast

Here’s a hint: it’s not a donut and a double double.  The Mayo Clinic suggests oatmeal and oat bran.  These soluble fibres reduce low density lipoprotein (LDL), the “bad” cholesterol, by binding with bile which contains cholesterol.  So rather than being absorbed from the intestines, the cholesterol is excreted by the bowel.  You don’t like oat bran?  Add a banana or other fresh fruit and it becomes quite palatable.  Remember, to live longer and healthier, it’s sometimes necessary to do what you don’t like.
