I. Oats: Contain extremely rich linoleic acid and abundant saponins, which can lower serum cholesterol and triglycerides.
II. Corn: Rich in calcium, selenium, lecithin, vitamin E, and other nutrients, it has the effect of lowering serum cholesterol.
III. Kelp: Rich in taurine, it can lower cholesterol in the blood and bile; the dietary fiber alginic acid can inhibit cholesterol absorption and promote its excretion.
IV. Garlic: Contains a mixture of sulfur compounds, which can reduce blood cholesterol, prevent thrombus formation, and help increase high-density lipoprotein levels.
V. Apple: Rich in potassium, it can expel excess potassium salts from the body and maintain normal blood pressure.
VI. Milk: Due to its high calcium content, it can inhibit the activity of cholesterol synthesis enzymes in the human body, thereby reducing cholesterol absorption.
VII. Onion: The diallyl disulfide and sulfur-containing amino acids it contains not only have antibacterial functions but can also lower blood lipids and prevent arteriosclerosis; it can activate the active ingredients of fibrin, effectively preventing thrombus formation in blood vessels; prostaglandin A also has a good blood pressure-lowering effect on the human body.
VIII. Sweet Potato: It can neutralize the excess acid produced in the body from excessive consumption of meat and eggs, maintaining the body's acid-base balance. Sweet potatoes contain a lot of dietary fiber, which can absorb more water in the gastrointestinal tract, lubricate the digestive tract, have a laxative effect, and can expel excess fat, sugar, and toxins from the intestines, thereby playing a role in lowering lipids.
In addition, foods such as carrots, peanuts, sunflower seeds, hawthorn, and figs can also help lower lipids. Patients with fatty liver may consider including them in their regular diet.
