Olive Oil

Olive Oil, the most consumed monounsaturated fat in the world, has reigned in the Mediterranean basin for thousands of years. Not only is its taste excellent, but it has also been shown that a diet based on olive oil is directly related to a prolonged life expectancy and a reduction in diseases largely linked to bad Western culinary habits. . Olive oil has always been recognized for the benefits it provides in a very wide range of ailments and symptoms.

Today, its composition tells us about its effectiveness in the fight against cardiovascular diseases. Its richness in monounsaturated fatty acids (56 to 84%) helps to reduce the level of "bad" cholesterol in the blood and to maintain the level of "good" cholesterol. Olive oil also contains a good number of polyunsaturated essential fatty acids (4 to 16%). Since these fatty acids cannot be synthesized by the human body, they must be supplied by the diet, and olive oil therefore intervenes significantly in the balance of the metabolism. It contains only a small amount of saturated fatty acids (8 to 20%).

Olive oil is also rich in anti-oxidants, such as vitamin E. This vitamin plays an essential role in the protection of cell membranes, which gives it a beneficial responsibility against aging of the skin.

Anti-inflammatory, it reconstitutes tissue damaged as a result of burns and skin wounds.

It also helps fight against the effects of pollution in the body and is particularly indicated for smokers.

It stimulates sexual capacities, slows down the destruction of red blood cells and the formation of possible blood clots. It strengthens glandular functions.

In addition to nutritional virtues, olive oil contains an anti-inflammatory agent.

Researchers have isolated one of its components, oleocanthal, which works by inhibiting the activity of an enzyme, cyclooxygenase, like ibuprofen. Regular consumption of olive oil would not relieve a migraine, but would have long-term beneficial effects, such as reducing the risk of cancer which is no longer to be proven.
