May Boost Heart Health
Top 6 in Top 9 Health Benefits of Guarana
In America, heart disease is the fourth leading cause of mortality. In two different methods, guarana may lower the risk of heart disease. First off, guarana's antioxidants seem to promote blood flow and may help avoid blood clots. Second, research suggests that guarana may lessen "bad" LDL cholesterol oxidation. LDL cholesterol that has been oxidized can lead to artery plaque formation.
In fact, guarana eaters may have up to 27% lower levels of oxidized LDL than non-guarana eaters of the same age. However, test-tube studies account for the majority of the research on the relationship between guarana and heart health. Before suggestions can be made, further human-based research is required.
