5. Whole Barley
Bear in mind that whole-grain barley can reduce the levels of bad cholesterol by 10% if you eat this food on a regular basis for at least five weeks. If you want to make your barley more delicious, you can add dried fruits or raisins. Whole barley tastes wonderful as a side dish. Avoid the ‘pearled’ kinds of barley. The so-called pearled grain does not have germ and bran.
