Lowering High Cholesterol with Microgreens

High cholesterol is a silent threat that builds plaque in arteries, increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. But the right nutrition can make a significant difference.

What Happens in High Cholesterol: 

LDL cholesterol, when oxidized, sticks to arterial walls, leading to atherosclerosis. Poor diet and lack of antioxidants worsen this condition.

How Microgreens Help:

 Sunflower, broccoli, and kale microgreens are high in fiber and antioxidants. They help reduce LDL oxidation, improve lipid profiles, and support healthy cholesterol levels.

• Broccoli microgreens: Contain sulforaphane, which reduces LDL cholesterol and oxidative stress.

• Sunflower microgreens: High in fiber and healthy fats that support HDL (good cholesterol).

• Kale microgreens: Packed with lutein and beta-carotene, antioxidants that prevent plaque buildup.

  
  

Key Nutrients:

• Dietary Fiber: Binds with cholesterol in the gut.

• Polyphenols & Flavonoids: Fight oxidative stress.

• Plant Sterols: Block cholesterol absorption.

  
  

Microgreens offer a simple, plant-based way to combat cholesterol—delicious, powerful, and easy to grow or consume.
