I used to like to eat fatty meat, but now my cholesterol is very high. My friend told me to eat more legumes in the future. Can I lower my cholesterol?

    Beans can eliminate bad cholesterol in the body. Soy protein can reduce cholesterol, triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein in the blood; without affecting high-density lipoprotein. There are very few saturated fatty acids in soybeans and no cholesterol. 100 grams of soybeans contains about 40 grams of protein, which is 3 times that of eggs and 2 times that of milk. In addition, isoflavones and cellulose contained in soybeans also have a cholesterol-lowering effect.
