DHA Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil is the most powerful when it comes to lowering cholesterol, preventing new plaques from forming, and reducing triglyceride levels.
Make sure your Omega-3 supplement is labeled DHA Omega-3 supplement. Take 600mg once a day and store it in the fridge to make it last longer.
Omega-3 fats are essential fats. That means our body needs them to function, but we can't make them on our own. We must get them from our diets. Unfortunately, most of us don't eat enough fish, or the fish we're eating may not be great sources of these necessary fats (often due to the type of fish or the farming practices). Plant-based sources of omega-3's (like walnuts, flax seeds and chia seeds) are great sources of one type of EPA omega-3, but not the other, DHA. You need to eat good sources of fish (wild salmon, trout, sardines, anchovies, herring and mackerel), or algae (as in sushi), or take supplements in order to get the DHA.

Eat Two Servings of Soluble Fiber Daily
Soluble fiber found in foods such as oatmeal, apples, pears, citrus, beans, peas, carrots, quinoa and barley wicks bad cholesterol away from your arteries. Aim for two servings per day. Be sure to increase your fiber intake gradually to avoid gas. And drink with plenty of water since fiber can’t do its job in a dehydrated system.
