Choosing Olive Oil as your main source of dietary fats has proven to reduce cardiovascular disease.
In the 1960's the Greeks were found to live longer than any other nationality and it was traced back to their dietary intake of monounsaturated fats through the consumption of Extra Virgin live Oil. This led to lower cancer and cardiovascular diseases which gave birth to the "MEDITERRANEAN DIET". The reason for this is that olive oil lowers cholesterol which lowers blood pressure leading to heart attacks and other forms of heart disease. Olive Oil is also known to distribute excess fat from around the abdominal and stomach area.
This high level of monounsaturated fats or Fatty Acids along with the Antioxidant effects from the polyphenol content in the olive naturally reduces the LDL Cholesterol levels in the body which are known to be detrimental to the human body and increases the HDL Cholesterol levels in the body which are beneficial for the human body research has shown.
Recent studies proved that a consumption rate as little as 25ml (equivalent to 2 table spoons) can increase the amount of Antioxidants found in the blood in the form of Phenols. This in conjunction with reduced oxidation of LDL compounds which are attributed to cholesterol issues makes Extra Virgin Olive Oil the best choice for your health.
