Olive Oil Health Benefits At-a-Glance

Here are 5 reasons why extra virgin olive oil is good for you:

• Helps Your Heart: Extra virgin olive oil increases good HDL cholesterol, lowers bad LDL cholesterol, and reduces other harmful blood fats. It also reduces inflammation, another contributor to cardiovascular disease.


• Cuts Your Cancer Risk: Contains antioxidants, like vitamin E and polyphenols, that protect against cancer-causing cell damage, as seen in lower levels of colon, prostrate and bowel cancer among Southern Europeans who tend to live on a Mediterranean diet. Extra virgin olive oil also contains oleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid that is believed to suppress a gene responsible for over 25% of breast cancers.


• Keeps Your Blood Pressure Down: Those potent polyphenols appear to dilate arteries, which brings blood pressure down. They reduce the bad LDL cholesterol, which seems to be the determining factor in the formation of plaques in arteries.


• Reduces Risks of Diabetes: Olive oil ensures better control of glucose in the blood, reducing the dangers of diabetes.


• Promotes Stronger Bones: Strong bone development and lower risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis are also linked to the healthy properties of extra virgin olive oil.

It's healthy and tastes great too!

Make extra virgin olive oil a staple in your daily cooking.

Note: Benefits are achieved by substituting olive oil for other artery-clogging fats like butter and animal fat in the diet rather than just adding more olive oil. In addition, the complete diet must be taken into consideration. A Mediterranean-type diet — in which extra virgin olive oils figure prominently, and are also rich in fresh fruits, vegetables, and fish — is highly recommended as a healthy diet.
