5) Too Much Cheese? Start a Meal with Flax Seed Meal

You may want to fight fat with healthy fat with cheese containing low cholesterol saturated fat.

According to The American Heart Association, “Healthy adults should limit themselves to 300 milligrams of cholesterol or less, and those who already have high cholesterol shouldn't consume more than 200 milligrams per day.”

A report in Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism says, “a daily dose of flaxseed may help you lower your cholesterol levels by as much as 11 percent due to the fiber, omega-3 fats and lignans it contains.”

Other fiber-rich foods such as wheat and oat bran are recommended to get sluggish bowels moving again!
