Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – The Koran is the holy book for Muslims. In the Koran there are many life guidelines that provide guidance for humans in living their lives in the world.

Apart from discussing the issue of faith in Allah, the Qur’an also provides instructions regarding the food that humans can eat. Not only is it good to consume, food in the form of fruit is also able to relieve diseases such as high cholesterol.

So, what fruits can lower cholesterol according to the Koran? the following is the explanation:

1. Figs

Apart from figs, olives are also the fruit most often mentioned in the Koran, namely seven times. This proves how big and important figs are in the history of the development of Islam.

Apart from having nutritional as well as medicinal and cosmetic value, olives also fulfill a religious function as a sign of the greatness of Allah SWT.

In Surah Al Mu’minun verse 20, the Koran mentions fruits that must be eaten and talks about the olive tree that grows on Mount Sinai which provides oil and spices for eating.

Olives also have essential fatty acids which are good for heart and brain function, as well as polyphenols which have antioxidant properties. In fact, many people choose oil from olives as a healthier oil choice than palm oil.

Olive oil contains high levels of monounsaturated fatty acids, around 75%. When replacing saturated fat, monounsaturated fat from olives helps lower bad cholesterol. The health benefits of olive oil are also attributed to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
