Nearly 40% of US adults have high cholesterol*. If left unaddressed, high cholesterol can lead to the hardening of arteries which increases a person’s risk of heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular health issues.⁣
Soluble fiber is one of the top foods that helps reduce cholesterol absorption, among other potential benefits like supporting healthy bacteria in your gut and improving blood sugar levels.

Good sources of soluble fiber include fruits like apricots, apples, avocados and nectarines, vegetables like broccoli, carrots and okra, certain grains like oats and barley, beans and a variety of seeds (especially my fav, chia seeds). Unfortunately, 95% of Americans fail to meet their RDA of fiber everyday.
