10 Health Benefits of Mangosteen
Health Benefit #10: Lowers Cholesterol
For a healthy heart and reduced risk of heart problems, you should consider including fruits like mangosteen. Apart from enhancing blood flow, as mentioned elsewhere in this discussion, mangosteen can modulate your blood cholesterol levels. Remember that cholesterol levels are related to the risk of developing heart diseases and high blood pressure.
What is interesting is that mangosteen can reduce the levels of LDL, or bad cholesterol, and free fatty acids known as triglycerides. At the same time, it increases the levels of HDL or good cholesterol. Together with the fact that mangosteen has a low caloric index, it is a good choice of fruit for anyone keen on maintaining a good balance of sugar levels and blood pressure.
