Eat enough dietary fibre
Specialists recommend a daily amount between 10 and 25 grams. In addition to the fact that dietary fibre results in a feeling of saturation and therefore helps you to lose weight, it boosts your general health and helps reduce cardiovascular risk. Full wheat products, fruit and vegetables especially are rich in dietary fibre.
According to the American government 5 to 10 grams of extra dietary fibre a day results in a drop of LDL cholesterol from 3 to 5 %.
