    Hi radha,
    Oats is extremely beneficial in lowering bad cholesterol levels in the blood. You can make a simple porridge by adding a cup of oats to 2 cups of boiling water (or skimmed milk). Bring the mixture to boil again & cook for further 2 mins. Keep stirring all the while as oats has a tendency to stick to the bottom of the vessel. When it cools down a bit you can add a spoon of honey (which is also good for cholesterol) or even some fruits & enjoy it. Or you can make it more liquid (like kanji) & have it mixed with a bit of rasam or buttermilk. You can also add a few Tbsp. of oats to almost any soup that you make; it thickens the soup without adding any other refined flour & is healthier too!! Oats when consumed regularly is incredibly beneficial.

    Apart from oats, garlic is also said to be very good in significantly reducing the cholesterol level in the blood. You can refer to the thread 'Garlic' by Lavanya for more info.

    Olive oil is said to be very good to increase the good cholesterol level in the blood but it too has to be used minimally 'cos it is very dense in calories. You can use it for salads, chapathis, dosa or even for the curries & poriyals you normally cook as for these dishes the oil use is a few Tbsps. only; but it is not suitable for deep frying.

    Hope this info. is helpful to you.

    Probably I am repeating what I have written else where. Just by avoiding Cholesterol in diet one cannot completely reduce cholesterol levels in blood. It might help to a certain extent.

    When mice were fed with fiber free diet, zero fat, the cholesterol levels where high. Puzzled?. The reason is that even if you dont take cholesterol in your diet, your body will make cholesterol from carbohydrates. The body will make glucose from starch and this glucose will inturn be used to make fat and from fat it makes cholesterol.

    So to superfically reduce cholesterol eat fat free diet or low fat and zero cholesterol. But if you want to handle the root cause, increase fiber in your food. Completely avoid margarine , eat more vegetables and fruits. Switch to brown rice and whole wheat instead of white stuff. Beet roots is a must. Other grains are oats, buckwheat and ragi.

    Ofcourse walking everyday for an hour adds up.
