14. Blueberries
Lovely, delicious, delightful blueberries! You cannot go wrong eating more of them! Rich in antioxidants, blueberries are loaded with more fiber than you might know. They also contain a special compound called pterostilbene, which has been shown in studies to help the body metabolize cholesterol. It can lower both triglycerides and LDL cholesterol. It makes sense — now more than ever — to keep a bag of frozen blueberries in your freezer at all times so you can add some of those luscious berries to everything!

15. Avocados
Like olive oil, avocados are a great source of those healthy monounsaturated fats which lower cholesterol in the blood. Monounsaturated fats also increase the good (HDL) type of cholesterol. Avocados are rich in fiber, B-complex vitamins, vitamin K (which is important for blood clotting) and they are a good source of protein. Guacamole, anyone?
Add more superfoods to your daily diet, and you can avoid the pharmaceutical drugs that have so many nasty side effects.
