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

    1. Rich in antioxidants

    Palm sugar contains antioxidants, which help protect heart cells from damage caused by free radicals and reduce the risk of heart attacks.

    2. Contains essential minerals

    Palm sugar is rich in minerals such as potassium and magnesium. Potassium helps control blood pressure by balancing sodium levels, reducing stress on the heart; magnesium helps relax blood vessels, which is important for heart health.

    3. Improve blood flow

    Palm sugar helps improve blood flow, reduces the risk of blood clots and contributes to protecting cardiovascular health.

    4. Reduce inflammation

    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

    Palm sugar helps reduce bad cholesterol levels in the body and protects heart health.
