Soy products, including tofu, tempeh, and edamame, are excellent plant-based protein sources that can help lower cholesterol levels. They contain isoflavones and polyunsaturated fats, which contribute to reducing LDL cholesterol. The FDA has recognized the heart health benefits of soy, stating that consuming 25 grams of soy protein daily can decrease the risk of heart disease. Soy products are incredibly versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes, from stir-fries to smoothies. By incorporating soy into your diet, you can take advantage of its cholesterol-lowering effects and enjoy diverse culinary options.
