Al-Marsad newspaper: Japanese nutritionist Masahiro Iwasaki revealed a type of vegetable that lowers the level of “bad” cholesterol in the blood.
Iwasaki said that all vegetables contain different powerful antioxidant compounds, and one of them is the compound capsanthin found in red peppers and hot peppers, which gives them their red color, according to “Novosti” agency.
He explained that this compound is a powerful antioxidant, and studies have shown that capsanthin raises the level of good cholesterol in the blood and reduces the level of harmful cholesterol.
And he added that red pepper also contains a high percentage of vitamin C, twice as much as that found in lemon, which also helps to reduce the level of harmful cholesterol.
