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.

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
