Walnuts
Walnuts are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which help lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and raise the good cholesterol (HDL) in your body — if you choose not to eat animal food products that provide these essential fats, like fish, walnuts are an excellent alternative. Walnuts also contain antioxidants — which can help protect against free radical damage — as well as protein and fiber.
