Can somebody assist me with some cholesterol lowering foods?

My husband is facing a health problem of high blood pressure and the doctor has suggested low fat and low cholesterol diet for him. I am a health conscious person myself, and I cook for my family keeping in mind the nutritional values of the recipes. Nonetheless, I can’t be watchful on his eating habits once he is out at work, therefore, I need help from some expert regarding few cholesterol lowering foods which can be healthy and tasty for my food-lover husband? Thanks.

    A high cholesterol in the blood can lead to several kinds of problems. It is not a disease by itself, but it can give rise to different types of diseases. As your husband is suffering from high blood pressure, it is very important for him to control his cholesterol level. High cholesterol can worsen his blood pressure. To control the cholesterol level, it is very important for him to consume cholesterol-lowering food. Foods that have soluble fiber can lower the cholesterol level in the body. Such foods that contain soluble fiber are oats, apples, barley, beans, brown rice and many other fruits and vegetables. Whole wheat sandwiches stuffed with chicken, turkey, fish or vegetables are also healthy to eat. Fish like salmon is very good for lowering the cholesterol level, as it has omega-3 fatty acids. All kinds of nuts are good for the body. You have to take care to include as many fruits and vegetables as you can in the daily diet. Salads are very important, but take care to use healthy salad dressing like olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, etc. Use of garlic and onion in the food also contributes a lot in the lowering of cholesterol. Soya protein taken in any form can be very beneficial. Try including tofu, soy milk and soya beans in the food. Your husband should stay away from fried foods. Instead try roasting, baking or grilling the food. Egg yolks are also not recommended, however egg whites can be had. Taking little precautionary measures can definitely control your husband’s blood cholesterol level.
