3. It Can Control Cholesterol
The healthy fats found in olive oil help to regulate the lipids in your blood, which in turn slows the formation of plaque deposits in your arteries. Lemon juice offers a similar benefit by virtue of its vitamin C and flavonoids. Studies show that people with high levels of vitamin C in their blood tend to have lower triglyceride and cholesterol levels than people who have a vitamin C deficiency.
Together, olive oil and lemon juice support the maintenance of good cholesterol levels in healthy people and may also work in tandem with a statin drug prescribed by a doctor in people with known high cholesterol.
