Walnuts

Some small studies have shown that walnuts can significantly reduce cholesterol levels in the blood. Rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, walnuts may also help keep blood vessels more healthy and elastic.

When walnuts comprise 20 percent of the calories in a cholesterol-lowering diet, they result in a 12 percent reduction in LDL cholesterol. Almonds appear to have a similar effect, resulting in a marked improvement within just four weeks.

One warning: All nuts are high in calories. Consuming too many calories makes you heavier, and being overweight places you at higher risk of heart disease. To avoid gaining weight, it's best to add walnuts to your diet only as a substitute for foods containing high levels of saturated fats — such as cheese, butter and fatty meats — which also are high in calories.
