    Here are the reasons why jaggery is good for heart health, shared by nutritionist Kejal Shah.

    A study published in the International Journal of Preventive Medicine found that palm sugar has anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce chronic inflammation in blood vessels.

    5. Helps reduce bad cholesterol
