Properties of extra virgin olive oil

Extra virgin olive oil is indispensable during childhood as it contributes to body growth, the process of brain myelination and bone formation. During adulthood, it is effective in preventing artery and heart disorders and lowers the level of cholesterol in the blood. In addition to reducing the risk of heart disease, it has an anti-aging function for the skin and bones, as it is rich in vitamin E, which protects against decalcification, osteoporosis and fractures. It also contains beta-carotene (provitamin A) and a whole range of antioxidant substances such as phenolic compounds.

Let’s see which are the 10 main benefits of extra virgin olive oil for our well-being.

Benefits of extra virgin olive oil

Cardiovascular disease. Extra virgin olive oil reduces the level of bad cholesterol (LDL) and increases the good cholesterol (HDL). The risk of suffering from these diseases is consequently reduced in proportion to its consumption.

Tumors. The combination of monounsaturated fats and biophenols reduces the risk associated with the most frequent cancer diseases affecting the intestine, colon, prostate, pancreas, endometrium and breast.

Aging. The preventive effects of extra virgin olive oil with respect to aging and the associated diseases - such as senile dementia, cognitive impairment, Alzheimer’s and osteoporosis - are linked to its antioxidant content.

High blood pressure. Regular consumption of extra virgin olive oil helps to reduce blood pressure to systolic (maximum) and diastolic (minimum) levels. The key compound here is biophenols.

Diabetes. It has been shown that a diet high in extra virgin olive oil, low in saturated fats and moderately rich in carbohydrates and soluble fibers such as fruits, vegetables, legumes and cereals, is the most effective diet for diabetic patients.

Obesity. Despite the fact that extra virgin olive oil contains 9 calories per gram, Mediterranean populations accustomed to consuming a high quantity have a lower percentage of cases of obesity than populations that use animal fat. The extra virgin olive oil also helps to make tastier a healthy diet based on fruit, vegetables and fish.

Immune system. Olive oil fatty acids have been shown to strengthen the immune system against bacteria and viruses.

Arthritis. Individuals who consume a small amount of extra virgin olive oil have 2.5 more possibilities to develop arthritis, the incidence of which would be related to the content of antioxidants.

Digestive system. Extra virgin olive oil inhibits gastric motility, promoting both digestion and the absorption of nutrients.

Depression. Extra virgin olive oil performs a similar function to most antidepressants, increasing the level of serotonin present in the brain.

    Greetings to everyone who read my testimony. Using this opportunity to thank the great real spell caster called Dr Ughulu is so exciting to me. I have been looking for a way to cure my HIV Disease but everything seems so wrong with all the herbal remedies I have taken. I was notified on my phone about how Dr. Ughulu cures someone out of herpes Disease. I read all the news that I was notified on the phone so luckily his website was there. That’s when I went through it and I saw he is a powerful man so I took advantage and sent him a message to help me cure my HIV Disease. I was very happy when he responded to me and told me the items needed to be able to cure my HIV Disease after I had spent a lot of money in the Hospitals and also with different types of traditional medicine in my country. Dr Ughulu did his best and sent me herbal remedies to cure my HIV Disease. It didn’t take up to a month. I was cured from HIV Disease. So when I met my Doctor to do a check up and my doctor told me I am fine now and free from HIV Disease.

    I lost my marriage after 2 years and it was a horrible experience for me. My wife left me and my son and everything happened beyond my control and I never knew few people around me engineered my wife and turned her against me just because I choose to build my family and focus more on it. I had to seek help because I know I did not do anything to have my marriage crashed. Dr Isikolo helped me and a lot was revealed to me on what transpired. He cast a love reunion spell that bonded my wife and I back together and the whole evil my family did against me was revealed. Am thankful that my home is back more happier than ever and all the appreciation goes to Dr Isikolo as he indeed fixed my problems just after 48 hours. check his web page for more info (https://isikolo-temple.com) or text him on WhatsApp via: +2348133261196

    Don’t be deceived by different testimonies online that is most likely wrong. I have made use of several LOVE SPELL CASTER options that got me disappointed at the end of the day but I must confess that Dr Adoda is genius I eventually found out here on http://dradodalovetemple.com It’s better you devise your time to find the valid professionas that can help you restore your Broken Marriage/Relationship Ex back rather than falling victim of other amateur spell caster that cannot get the job done. http://dradodalovetemple.com is the most reliable and authentic spell caster expert you can work with to bring back lost lover .my ex-lover called me after my contact with Dr Adoda and he helped me get back on my feet and I’m very grateful for that.
