Eating one clove daily may help improve heart health by reducing LDL (bad) cholesterol and increasing HDL (good) cholesterol, said Dr Dinesh Raj, cardiologist at HCG Hospitals, Rajkot. Cloves contain antioxidants and eugenol, which reduce inflammation and oxidative stress. They can aid digestion and improve oral health, Dr Raj stated. Cloves should be consumed in moderation, he advised.
