Study: Fasting helps lower bad cholesterol levels

Fasting positively affects the health of patients with high cholesterol, which is harmful to the blood, and is gradually reflected in cholesterol levels, which leads to an improvement in the patient’s health. In general, the holy month is a good opportunity for patients to fully recover.

Fasting is an opportunity to enhance the health of patients and reduce levels of bad cholesterol called LDL in their bodies.

A study published in the “Plus One” magazine indicated that fasting during Ramadan led to a significant improvement in the levels of good cholesterol in exchange for a decrease in the level of harmful cholesterol, and it also contributed to improving the health of the heart and blood vessels in these patients.
Despite the abundant evidence on the relationship of fasting with lowering cholesterol and that fasting will not pose any danger to patients, it is worth observing some of the recommended health recommendations, whether during normal days or during fasting days.
In this context, a consultant interventional cardiologist, Dr. Muhammad Andron, told Sky News Arabia:

Blood tests detect two types of good cholesterol, HDL and bad cholesterol, LDL.
The method of treatment varies according to risk factors, such as age and a family history of infection.
Fasting is an opportunity to follow a healthy diet that contributes to reducing cholesterol levels in the blood.
