Health benefits
Extra virgin olive oil is widely recognized for its vast health benefits. Here, we give you five of the many good reasons to use EVOO:
1. It’s good for your heart.
Regular use of olive oil mixed with Mediterranean type diet drastically reduces the incidence of cardiovascular disease, more than a generic low fat diet.
It is scientifically proven that a Mediterranean diet reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, and olive oil is the key ingredient to such diet. According to the largest study to date on the Mediterranean diet, up to 30 percent of heart attacks, strokes, and deaths were reduced among people at high risk (New England Journal of Medicine)
2. It’s good for your cholesterol level.
Olive oil contains a type of fat known as “monounsaturated fat”, which helps lower cholesterol level.
3. It’s good for your skin.
Both eating olive oil and applying it to your skin is very beneficial. Olive oil is high in vitamin E, which is great for your skin. When applied to your body, olive oil penetrates deep into your skin and provides a long-lasting shield of moisture to keep it smooth and supple.
4. It’s good for your gut.
Olive oil helps digestion and prevents constipation.
5 It’s good for your soul.
Olive oil is one of the most ancient, natural, and nutritional fruits of nature, produced in a beautiful place in a beautiful way that has remained virtually the same for centuries. Eating this traditional food not only nourishes your body but it nourishes your spirit as well. Least but not last, real genuine extra virgin olive oil tastes very good!
