Efficacyof newbeveragemadeof datesvinegar andgarlic juice in improvingserumlipidprofileparameters

and inflammatory biomarkers of mildly hyperlipidemic adults: A double-blinded, randomized, placebo-

controlled study

beverage made from dates vinegar and garlic juice was

recently developed for use by people who wish to attain

maximum quantities of both vinegar and polyphenols for their

health and do not like to use vinegar and garlic directly in their

daily diet. Fifty hyperlipidemic adults consumed two cups (500

ml) of either the new beverage or a placebo daily over a period

of 7 weeks. Plasma lipids, inflammatory biomarkers, urea,

creatinine, potassium, and b-carotenoid concentrations were

measured before and after each treatment. A recommended

dose of 500 ml of the new beverage reduced total cholesterol

(TC) (260.10617.9 to 198.90617.31 mg/dL) and C-reactive

protein (CRP) (8.0461.34 to 4.4561.42 mg/l) along with heart

rate and mean blood pressure. These outcomes indicate that

the new beverage improved the concentration of lipids and

inflammatory biomarkers, and the new beverage is beneficial

for people who are worried about hypertension.

Practical applications

Dietary therapy is the primary step in the treatment of

hyperlipidemia. Dates, compared with different fruits, are

a rich source of phenolic compounds. Researchers have

claimed that extract of date fruit is effective in improving lipid

profile parameters. Similarly, evidence from other studies has

indicated that garlic can bring about the regulation of blood

cholesterol along with the improvement of fibrinolytic activity

and decrement of blood pressure. Thus, this study will provide

a possible source of phenolic compounds and present a latent

approach to the avoidance of hyper lipidemia and hypertension.

This new beverage is suggested as a dietary supplement for the

promotion of a healthy heart.
