Health Benefit Of Honey #4: Improves Cholesterol
Cholesterol is an important factor in heart disease. Having high low-density lipoprotein levels is a major risk factor. These lead to a fatty buildup in the arteries which lead to strokes and heart attacks. There have been studies that honey has an effect on lipid profiles.
In one study, seventy grams of honey was given to a group of healthy subjects for four weeks while controlling their diet. It was shown that levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, and triglyceride levels were decreased 4https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25226738. Another study done with subjects with elevated risk factors had also shown that consumption of natural honey reduced total cholesterol and triglyceride levels 5https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18454257.
