WHY OLIVE OIL IS GOOD FOR YOUR HEART

As a staple of the Mediterranean diet, one of the leading diets of 2023, extra virgin olive oil has been rigorously studied. Understanding the health benefits and the way that olive oil impacts the heart has been an important undertaking in the culinary world and, throughout many studies, it has become clear that extra virgin olive oil is the best oil for your heart. EVOO contains anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, has the highest percentage of monounsaturated fats compared to other edible plant oils, and reduces the risk of heart disease by lowering the LDL while increasing HDL.

THE BENEFITS OF CONSUMING OLIVE OIL
Studies reported in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology have shown that consuming more than half a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil each day can lower risk of heart disease. These individuals are also less likely to die from cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease, or other premature reasons compared to those who rarely consumed olive oil. This makes EVOO a healthy and delicious way to take care of your overall health.

The main reasons that extra virgin olive oil is incredibly healthy for your heart lie in its anti-inflammatory properties, antioxidants, and vasodilatory nutrients. Vasodilators dilate blood vessels, preventing them from narrowing, and allow blood to flow more easily throughout the body. This means your heart doesn’t have to pump as hard, which reduces your blood pressure, leading to an overall less stressed and healthier heart!

THE BEST OLIVE OIL FOR YOUR HEART
Extra virgin olive oil is the best olive oil for your heart. Compared to other consumable plant oils such as refined (corn oil, canola oil, etc.), virgin, pure, or light oils, EVOO sits as the top health option. Since extra virgin olive oil is extracted by a simple mechanical and physical milling process rather than a chemical one, the natural health properties are kept at their highest levels. Using an extra virgin olive oil of the highest quality is essential when it comes to your heart health!
