Health Benefit Of Cherries #4: Lower Cholesterol
High cholesterol has been known as an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease and stroke. Medications such as statins are commonly used to help control cholesterol levels. However, some studies have also found that the consumption of tart cherries (juice) among participants for 12 weeks found that it lowered low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and total cholesterol compared to those who did not.
Despite the findings, more studies will be required to assess the cardioprotective effects of the consumption of tart cherry juice.
