Abstract
Background
Atherosclerosis and hyperlipidaemia are the primary cause of heart diseases and death in most developed countries. Herbs have the clinical ability to improve cardiovascular health. Green coffee (Coffee Arabica) and thyme (Thymus Vulgaris) have proved to have lowering effects on cholesterol, triglycerides, fasting blood sugar levels and anthropometric measurements.
Objective(s)
The present study was conducted to assess the anti hyperlipidaemic effect of thyme infused green coffee on human subjects.
Materials and methods
An oral ingestion of thyme infused green coffee in hot water was given in the form of beverage for 90 days. Different biochemical indices were assessed to check the efficiency of thyme infused green coffee on human subjects.
Result
Repeated administration of the combination of thyme and green coffee showed statistically significant decrease in weight, waist circumference, fasting blood sugar, total cholesterol, low density lipoproteins and triglycerides.
Conclusion
Marked variations in triglycerides, high density lipoproteins, low density lipoproteins and anthropometric measurements of human subjects are indicative of effectiveness of thyme infused green coffee. Continuous intake of this combination may hence prove to be beneficial to the body.
