HALF A PLANTAIN FOR LOWER LDL

Besides that daily clove of garlic (delicious roasted with some heart healthy olive oil) , there are 5 more daily eats that can ease your high LDL cholesterol numbers down:

* Two or three apples (try a different variety every day. Had a Pink Lady or an Autumn Gold?)
* Three medium carrots (puree for a smoothie with kale and kefir, or lightly steam  carrot sticks and dip in fresh pesto)
*Half a whole green plantain (these tropical non-dessert fruits look like plus-size bananas  and need to be pan-fried or oven-roasted. Drizzle a little agave syrup on top),
*two cups of yogurt (dairy or nondairy) Tasty with that plantain above.
