Start your day by drinking a hot glass of water with lemon and one-half of a red apple. Eating apples every day can help lower your cholesterol. It's the pectin in the apple that lowers the LDL (or bad) cholesterol. High levels of flavonoids, quercetin and naringin in apples are believed to help lower the risk of lung cancer.
In addition to lowering cholesterol, apples contain a double fiber combination that can reduce the risk of hardening of the arteries, heart attack and stroke. Also, this start to your day helps promote liver function.

One-third cup of beets every day can lower your cholesterol by 40%! One-half cup of beets is a mere 37 calories. They're naturally sweet, but have only seven grams of sugar per 1/2 cup serving. Beets are a good source of vitamin C, potassium and iron. Beets give you the cancer-fighting antioxidant betacarotene plus two grams of healthy fiber.
I cannot praise beets enough! Beets are critical for liver health. You can lower cholesterol with beets
