Coffee

Coffee and tea may help protect your heart -- even decaf coffee works! Studies show that people who drink 3-4 cups a day may be less likely to get diabetes, too. If you already have high blood pressure, be careful, since caffeine can make it worse.
Tip: Choose black coffee or a non-fat latte to limit fat and calories.

Foods Fortified With Sterols

Some margarines, soy milks, almond milks, and orange juices have cholesterol-fighting sterols and stanols added. These plant extracts block cholesterol absorption in the gut and can lower LDL levels by 10% without affecting good cholesterol.
Tip: Eat or drink at least 2 grams of sterols a day.
