If your goal is to naturally lower bad cholesterol, food number one is avocados. Avocados have healthy fats and fiber, and they provide LDL support and help to boost your hdl, which is the good cholesterol. In one randomized control trial, participants who ate one avocado a day experienced greater reductions in the small, dense LDL that is the type that can cause inflammation and plaque buildup in the body and help to increase HDL compared to control groups.
