Watermelon lowers cholesterol

It doesn’t matter which type of watermelon you choose: they all contain plenty of phytochemicals, water and fiber, which are perfect choices in the fight against bad cholesterol, or LDL cholesterol.

• Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that improves heart health. It treats tissues and keeps arteries and veins flexible and clean of plaque.
• Raspberry melon also contains beta-carotene, which is one of the natural antioxidants that improve and accelerate cellular metabolism.
• Due to its magnesium and fiber content, it produces a laxative effect that reduces fat absorption.
• Watermelon is also high in potassium. This is especially essential for heart health. An appropriate amount of potassium in the diet lowers blood pressure and balances the effect of sodium-rich foods.

In this natural smoothie, we combine cantaloupe and banana. If your body is not digesting bananas properly, you can also use grapes or apples.

If you sprinkle a little cinnamon on top of this cantaloupe banana smoothie, you’ll be adding another great cholesterol-lowering ingredient at the same time.

The cholesterol-lowering properties of bananas

Some people are unsure whether bananas lower or increase cholesterol. But as with almost all foods, the crucial thing is that they add to the diet in a balanced way, without going to extremes.

Something as simple as eating one banana a day can improve your overall health. Not only does this fruit provide energy, it is also the perfect ingredient for full-bodied, cholesterol-lowering smoothies.

• Bananas are a very low fat food.
• Bananas are one of the best fruits you can eat to get plenty of fiber. Fiber is very important in the diet for proper detoxification and bowel function. This normalizes the levels of LDL cholesterol, or bad cholesterol, in your blood.
• Bananas are also rich in antioxidants and minerals such as zinc and selenium. These are important for optimal liver cholesterol synthesis as well as for balancing cholesterol levels.
• The next point is also very important: bananas improve blood circulation and prevent blood clots that can clog arteries.
