Japanese scientists found that six plants such as sweet potato, green soybean, ginger sprouts, celery, chrysanthemum, and angelica all had the effect of inhibiting cholesterol production, of which sweet potato had the most significant effect.
This result was analyzed by scientists from three research institutes such as the University of Tokyo after analyzing 130 kinds of vegetables, fruits and flowers. Experiments confirmed that sweet potato inhibited cholesterol production 10 times more than other plants. Scientists also found that inhibiting cholesterol production is a combination of lipids and sugars in sweet potatoes. It inhibits the action of a synthetic enzyme in the later stages of cholesterol production.
"Japan Agriculture News" quoted Hirata Yukihiro, a scientist at the National Institute of Pharmaceutical and Food Hygiene in Japan, as saying that the value of this research achievement lies in the discovery that sweet potatoes without safety problems have medicinal effects. It is expected that cholesterol-lowering drugs will be developed with sweet potatoes in the future.
With the increase of age, the cholesterol content of human blood gradually increases, and when the concentration is too high, hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis will be caused.
