Blueberries that tantalize your tongue may help you lower your cholesterol, too. In a recent study, an antioxidant compound found in blueberries appeared to lower cholesterol as effectively as a popular cholesterol-lowering medication. The compound -- pterostilbene -- also has powerful anticancer properties. Top your high-fiber cereal with a handful of blueberries for extra cholesterol-lowering power. Reducing your total cholesterol to 160 mg/dl or lower can make your real age as much as 1 year younger. Not only are blueberries a good source of fiber, but they also are high in three antioxidants -- resveratrol, pterostilbene, and piceatannol -- that may fight cancer and help lower cholesterol. Additional evidence suggests that pterostilbene may lower triglycerides and protect against diabetes, too. Other important parts of cholesterol management include weight control, regular exercise, and a healthy diet that includes fiber and monounsaturated fats, such as olive oil or canola oil.
