Olive oil - The secret of good health

It is now known across the world that olive oil offers people essential health protection; whether we have circulatory disorders; suffer from diabetes or other health problems. It is indeed interesting to look at the different studies, making it clearer to us how valuable olive oil is for the human body.

Bad Cholesterol

The consumption of olive oil in place of other fats and oils lowers the LDL cholesterol level in the blood without reducing the HDL, i.e. "good" cholesterol level!

High Blood Pressure

Olive oil lowers blood pressure, which means it helps to prevent strokes and other circulatory disorders.

Osteoporosis

Olive oil also plays an important role for bones and protects against osteoporosis.

Diabetes

Even in the therapy of diabetes, olive oil plays a positive role.

Triglycerine

It is proven that olive oil lows the triglycerine level in the blood. Too high "bad" cholesterol and triglycerine values in the blood lead to clogged arteries, with the consequence of a reduced oxygen intake to the heart muscles and to the brain. It is generally recognised that olive oil protects the body from circulatory disorders.

Cancer

The latest studies have shown that the consumption of olive oil has an especially significant part to play in preventing breast cancer or it can at least decelerate its development. A balanced diet with olive oil and vegetables can reduce the probability of breast cancer (and certainly other cancers) up to 75%.

Digestive Tract

The study also show that olive oil, in conjunction with a balanced diet (vegetables, little meat etc.), protects against stomach cancer, guarantees good function of the liver and supports the liver in decomposing poisonous substances.

Did you know that the Greeks annually consume more than 3x the vegetables and salad than Western Europeans? (60 kg compared with 200 kg!)
