Focusing on foods rich in Choline is a unique, indirect strategy for managing cholesterol by supporting liver function. Choline is essential for the metabolism and transport of fats in the body. Without enough choline (found in high amounts in eggs, soybeans, and beef liver), fats and cholesterol can accumulate in the liver, leading to metabolic stress that can worsen overall lipid profiles. Ensuring adequate choline intake supports the liver's ability to efficiently process and package fats, keeping them moving through the system and preventing the internal accumulation that contributes to dyslipidemia.

Brewer's Yeast is an often-forgotten food source rich in Niacin (Vitamin B3). While supplementing with high-dose Niacin is a prescribed medical intervention for cholesterol, Brewer's Yeast offers a functional food dose. Niacin works in the liver to lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides while raising beneficial HDL cholesterol—an uncommon dual action. Adding a small amount of unfortified Brewer's Yeast (often available as flakes) to popcorn, soups, or smoothies is a savory way to introduce this powerful B-vitamin that gently nudges your lipid profile toward a healthier balance.
