And only recently modern science is learning about its true values. Olive oil is known to prevent the risk of cancer, decrease the risk of coronary heart disease, prevents the formation of certain free radicals that may cause cell destruction within the human body.
And, it contains NO cholesterol.
Up to 80% of olive oil is made up of monounsaturated fatty acids, which resist oxidation (the process by which fatty acids are degraded) better than polyunsaturated. Monounsaturated fatty acids help keep HDL (so called good cholesterol) levels up and LDL ("bad" cholesterol) down.
Olive oil also helps:
 |
The good function of intestine |
| |
The decline of the gastric juices. |
| |
The correct metabolism of diabetics and consequently the balance of the diabetes rates. |
| |
It revitalizes the skin. |
Thus the list is very long and it's getting longer the more we study olive oil.
