Russia (bbabo.net), - Controlling the level of cholesterol, which is associated with the formation of dangerous plaques and the development of atherosclerosis, helps to prevent the inflammatory process in the body in time and keep the vessels clean. Foreign doctors have come to the conclusion that one of the drinks that help lower blood cholesterol is ginger tea. If there are no contraindications, then you can drink it, for example, regularly in the morning.

The Daily Express writes about this with reference to a study in which several dozen volunteers with elevated blood cholesterol levels consumed up to five grams of chopped ginger per day. As a result, the level of low-density LDL (the very "bad" cholesterol) in the participants of the experiment decreased by more than 17%. Experts advised using ginger as a base for tea.

Other work has shown a positive effect of ginger on brain function and a reduced risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.

American doctors also concluded that regular consumption of green tea helps to reduce "the concentration of LDL cholesterol, but no effect on HDL cholesterol was observed."

Earlier, a cardiologist, MD, professor, corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences Olga Bokeria explained that the activity of a dangerous inflammatory process associated with the development of atherosclerosis increases when toxic tar from cigarettes and refined carbohydrates enter the body.
