Al-Marsad newspaper: Dr. Sergey Agapkin revealed the health benefits of the ripe fruits of the evergreen coniferous juniper plant.
The doctor points out that mature juniper fruits that are several years old contain aromatic and other beneficial substances, and can be used in food.
The benefits of this plant are the following:
1- Helps digestion. Juniper fruits improve the digestion of food – stimulating the secretion of gastric juice. Therefore, it is traditionally added to various mixtures, and is also used in preparing meat dishes.
2- It raises the level of “good” cholesterol. The results of scientific studies have shown that the extract of these fruits raises the level of “good” cholesterol in the blood, while reducing the level of “bad” cholesterol. This is especially important for patients with cardiovascular disease and for the prevention of atherosclerosis. Because “good” cholesterol cleans the blood vessels of “bad” cholesterol, which reduces the risk of myocardial infarction.
3- Preventing blood clots. Some studies have revealed that juniper contains flavonoids, which are substances that affect the blood clotting process and reduce the risk of blood clotting.
