Apple
There is a phrase "two apples a day keep bad cholesterol away" - which is true. Apples are rich in soluble pectin fiber that can lower LDL cholesterol levels. Apples also contain polyphenols that are antioxidants, which can inhibit LDL oxidation. LDL oxidation is what makes cholesterol plaque build up in blood vessels and trigger blockages.

Fiber content per 100 grams of apples = 2.4 grams.

Wine
The benefits of wine in lowering LDL cholesterol levels come from anthocyanins and resveratrol polyphenols present in the skin. Resveratrol increases the conversion of cholesterol to bile acids in the liver so that LDL formation is reduced. While anthocyanins function to lower triglyceride levels in the liver, which in turn also decreases the production of lipoproteins that make up LDL.

Avocado
Avocado is the only fruit that is rich in healthy fats. Avocado is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (Mono unsaturated fatty acids), which can increase good cholesterol (HDL) and lower LDL "bad" cholesterol. Avocados also contain beta-sitosterol which can lower the absorption of cholesterol from food.
