When I had my last physical, my doctor informed me my cholesterol was too high and that I should focus on lower-cholesterol foods. I went back to school seven years ago to study nutrition and eat healthily, and I thought I was already doing enough. However, high cholesterol runs in our family, so I decided it was time to get serious. After two months of making some changes, I lowered my cholesterol 30 points and lost 5 pounds. If you have never considered adding oats to your morning breakfast smoothie, you are in for a pleasant surprise!
