Alfalfa For: Cholesterol |
Profile
| The leaf from this grain decreases cholesterol levels and shrinks plaques that are already present. Alfalfa also slows the progress of atherosclerosis by keeping cholesterol from entering the body from food. The alfalfa saponins, which are soaplike compounds, form an insoluble foam with cholesterol inside the intestine. Linda B. White, M.D., The Herbal Drugstore (2003) | |

Grapefruit For: Lower LDL cholesteol |
Profile
| Studies show that the phytochemicals called liminoids in pink and red grapefruit make them powerful LDL busters. But this snack is not for everyone. Because grapefruit can interfere with the breakdown of certain medications, including statins and calcium channel blockers, don't eat a lot of grapefruit or drink the juice as a snack if you're on these medications.
