One simple way to support healthy cholesterol levels is by boosting your fiber intake!

Fiber acts like a “sponge” in the body — it binds to cholesterol and helps clear it out, which can lower cholesterol levels over time.

But the benefits don’t stop there, fiber also:
● Helps with weight management by keeping you fuller longer
● Supports steady blood sugar levels
● Feeds healthy gut bacteria
● Provides essential vitamins + minerals

Easy ways to add more fiber to your day:
● Choose whole grain breads, pasta, rice, and cereals (look for “whole grain” or “100% whole wheat” on labels)
● Load up on fruits + veggies (especially with skins when possible)
● Add beans, lentils, or chickpeas to meals
● Snack on nuts and seeds for an extra boost

Small swaps = big impact for your heart health!
