Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info People are often advised to overhaul their lifestyles when they're faced with alarmingly high cholesterol levels. One of the primary strategies for tackling this issue naturally is through dietary adjustments. Dubbed a 'silent killer', high cholesterol can go unnoticed without symptoms until it leads to serious cardiac complications. Dietician Angie Jefferson has offered up some natural advice for those in the UK looking to cleanse their arteries of harmful 'bad' cholesterol, complementing any medications they may be taking. Jefferson highlighted the crucial role of plant sterols and stanols in combating the detrimental effects of cholesterol. She stated: "Plant sterols and stanols are similar in size and shape to cholesterol and block some cholesterol absorption from your gut. This gradually reduces the amount of cholesterol in your blood."

She points out that cost-effective options are available at Aldi, costing around 33p each. Nonetheless, Angie emphasised the importance of consistency for successful cholesterol control. She clarified that since our bodies don't store plant sterols and stanols, we need to ensure a steady intake through our diet, reports the Mirror. The dietitian has highlighted the benefits of oats and barley, noting their soluble fibre beta-glucan as a natural combatant against cholesterol's artery-clogging effects, as reported by Surrey Live. In a discussion with The Menopause Exchange, Angie mentioned that beta-glucan "hangs on to cholesterol and bile acids during digestion", aiding in cholesterol reduction. She further stated: "Oats, barley and foods made from these can help lower cholesterol, provided these contain at least 1g of beta-glucan per portion." Additionally, the expert recommended a "small handful of nuts and soya as beneficial foods for tackling high cholesterol, explaining: "Research shows that nuts and soya foods, rich in protein and fibre, minerals and plant compounds, can help to support heart health. "Although meat is a valuable source of protein, its high saturated fat content can elevate "bad" cholesterol levels and heighten heart disease risk. She encouraged individuals to try various plant-based dishes using soya mince, edamame beans or tofu as alternatives to 'normal' protein sources. While making dietary changes can be instrumental in managing cholesterol, poor eating habits may negate these positive effects. It's crucial to also reduce (or entirely avoid) foods that raise cholesterol levels. The NHS recommends cutting down on:. Regular physical activity is equally essential for cholesterol control. The NHS suggests that everyone should aim to be active for at least 150 minutes each week.

Anita Dobson fights tears as she reflects on friendship with EastEnders co-star
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video EastEnders fans everywhere were left gobsmacked during the BBC soap's 40th anniversary when the iconic Angie Watts (Anita Dobson) made an unexpected appearance. The character appeared as an hallucination to daughter Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean), who was fighting for her life after being caught in the Queen Vic collapse. Some words of encouragement from her late mum were enough to keep her hanging on until help arrived. With the iconic moment having taken even the cast by surprise, it was no wonder it won the award for Scene of the Year at this year's British Soap Awards. Ahead of the star-studded ceremony, I was privileged enough to be able to chat to the icon herself, Anita Dobson, as well as her partner-in-crime, Kathy Beale star Gillian Taylforth. In the early days of the show, Kathy and Angie were the best of friends, and their relationship is still fondly regarded by fans today. During our chat, both women enthused about their long-lasting friendship, with Anita getting emotional. 'We haven't been able to see each other as much [as we'd like], but I know as soon as I look at her…' Anita said, with Gillian going on to finish the thought. 'It's true. As soon as we see one another the memories come flooding back.' Despite their close bond, even Gillian didn't know about Anita's return to the show until it aired on TV. 'We knew nothing about the scene that she did with Tish. When we watched it, we all went, 'Wow, this is what the 40th is all about! This icon coming back to our show!' Absolutely amazing, and I truly mean that.' The actresses went on to reflect on their first meeting in years, which was captured on an episode of EastEnders revealed before the live episode. 'When we did the Revealed show, we just cried when we met again. We still keep in touch now,' Gillian explained, before revealing how they still send each other birthday and Christmas cards. More Trending Reflecting on her decision to return to the show, Anita said: 'It took a lot of talking because I wanted it to be right. I didn't want to do it if it wasn't going to actually work. 'So we had a bit of chatting over the script and it just felt like the right time. And it was the best way to say goodbye to Angie, for me.'
