@ideal.nutrition: 🌱 Plant Sterols To Manage Cholesterol 🌱 2 grams of plant sterols per day can help to significantly reduce LDL cholesterol levels 💣 They do this primarily through interrupting cholesterol absorption in our intestines. 🛑 This can be cholesterol from from food (exogenous) and perhaps more importantly, reducing reabsorption of 'endogenous' cholesterol from body processes such as reverse cholesterol transport, bile salt production etc. 🤓 Increasing plant sterol intake through fruits, vegetables, and plant based foods in general is a great - but it is unlikely you'll be able to eat enough through food alone. 🥦 Plant sterol supplements are cheap, effective and easily sourced online or at a chemist or supplement store. 🛍️ More and more food products are also starting to be fortified with plant sterols - you might have seen flora proactive margarine or several of the sanitarium cereals like weetbix doing this already. 👌🏼🥣 Plant sterols are just ONE of many ways we can help manage and treat high cholesterol levels through diet! If you're wondering if this might be suitable for you comment, DM, or book a session online or in person ✌🏻 #health #nutrition #cholesterol #fyp #nutritiontips
