Answering a question, Dr Aamer Zaman Khan said the people aiming to lower their cholesterol should turn to honey and almonds as well as fruits and vegetables as both could help lower cholesterol, adding eating almonds lowered cholesterol levels, reducing the risk of heart diseases.
He said diets, including almonds reduces levels of 'bad' cholesterol, while almonds like other nuts contain 'healthy' unsaturated fats.
Replacing carbohydrates with mono-unsaturated fat, within the context of a diet that is low in saturated, trans fat and cholesterol, favourably affects cholesterol levels and cardiovascular risk, he added.
