A glass of orange juice every morning might be a good way to help control cholesterol.
Orange Juice (no white sugar) even in smaller amounts -- does good things for the heart and arteries. The flavonoids in the juice inhibit an enzyme thought to boost LDL production. Those same flavonoids also appear to enhance the liver's ability to excrete extra LDL through bile.
Well-Rounded Cholesterol Control :
Limiting your blood levels of bad cholesterol is a heart-healthy choice because too much artery-clogging cholesterol will pad blood vessels and set the stage for dangerous blockages. But, of course, no one should rely solely on their Orange Juice intake to curb bad cholesterol levels. Getting good control requires a multifaceted approach that includes exercise, an overall healthy diet, and, possibly, weight loss.
