Benefits of olive vinegar for cholesterol

Khushi Patel

By supplying heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory characteristics, olive vinegar helps lower cholesterol, improving lipid profiles, and lowering the risk of cardiovascular problems

Heart-Healthy Fats

 Olives, which are a high source of monounsaturated fats, especially oleic acid, are used to make olive vinegar. These lipids have the ability to increase levels of "good" HDL cholesterol and decrease levels of "bad" LDL cholesterol

Antioxidants

Polyphenols, which are antioxidants found in olive vinegar, may shield LDL cholesterol from oxidation, a condition associated with heart disease

Anti-inflammatory properties

Olive vinegar's components may have anti-inflammatory effects, which could improve heart health by lowering inflammation in blood vessels, according to certain research

Regulating blood pressure

Regular use of olive vinegar may help lower blood pressure, a factor in overall heart health

Weight loss

By reducing excess body fat, adding olive vinegar to your diet can help you lose weight, which in turn will help your cholesterol levels

Dietary Fiber

 If olive vinegar is prepared from whole olives, it may contain dietary fiber, which can lower LDL cholesterol and help lower cholesterol levels
