2. Beets
These root vegetables offer some pretty amazing help benefits. They are full of phytochemicals, which combat free radical damage and help to keep the arteries flexible, thus preventing them from becoming backed up with cholesterol. In addition to helping you lower bad cholesterol levels, beets are also rich in beneficial nutrients, such as fiber, iron vitamin C, magnesium, folate and potassium. You can simply boil up some beets and enjoy them as a snack or a dish alongside your favorite main dish, or you can use them as a topper on a salad, or blend them up into a healthy smoothie.
