Grapefruit

Red grapefruits help in lowering the LDL cholesterol levels in the body. The intake of only one red grapefruit daily sufficiently reduces the amount of cholesterol in your body by a total of 20%. There are certain nutrients like limonoids and lycopene, which act as antioxidants and help in the oxidation of fats and cholesterol in the liver. Grapefruit also contains some amount of soluble fibre pectin, which contributes to the removal of LDL cholesterol via excretion. You can also have the juice of your grapefruit to attain the results.
