Turmeric, particularly its active compound curcumin, has been shown to help reduce cholesterol levels and improve lipid profiles. Cholesterol is a type of lipid (fat) found in the blood, and high levels can increase the risk of heart disease. Curcumin helps by lowering levels of "bad" LDL cholesterol while raising "good" HDL cholesterol.

One way turmeric achieves this is by increasing the activity of liver enzymes that break down excess cholesterol, preventing it from accumulating in the blood. Additionally, turmeric has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which help protect blood vessels from damage caused by high cholesterol.

By improving lipid profiles, turmeric reduces overall cholesterol and triglyceride levels, promoting better heart health. Regular intake of turmeric, either through diet or supplements, can support maintaining healthy cholesterol levels, though it’s always best to combine it with a balanced diet and regular exercise for optimal benefits. However, it’s important to consult a healthcare provider before using turmeric supplements, especially for those on cholesterol-lowering medications.
