10 Amazing Health Benefits Of Olive Oil by nellyelitz(m): 8:38pm On Sep 19, 2014 |
Olive oil is perfect oil for good health. It has a lot of amazing health benefits. Here are 10 of them. (1) Cancer Prevention The phytonutrient in olive oil called oleocanthal mimics the effect of ibuprofen in reducing inflammation, which can decrease the risk of breast cancer and its recurrence. Squalene and lignans are among the other olive oil components being studied for their possible effects on cancer. (2) Keeps the Heart Healthy Olive oil lowers the levels of total blood cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides. At the same time it does not alter the levels of HDL-cholesterol (and may even raise them), which plays a protective role and prevents the formation of fatty patches, thus stimulating the elimination of the low-density lipoproteins. (3) Controls Blood Pressure Recent studies indicate that regular consumption of olive oil can help decrease both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. (4) Keeps Diabetes in Control It has been demonstrated that a diet that is rich in olive oil, low in saturated fats, moderately rich in carbohydrates and soluble fiber from fruit, vegetables, pulses and grains is the most effective approach for diabetics. It helps lower “bad” low-density lipoproteins while improving blood sugar control and enhances insulin sensitivity. (5) Reduces Obesity Although high in calories, olive oil has shown to help reduce levels of obesity. (6) Improves Sex Life Olive oil improves sex power as it helps blood circulation in your body which ultimately results higher sexual arousal. (7) Saves Your Skin Extra virgin olive oil helps with anti-ageing, osteoporosis and skin damage. It adds a protective coating on the skin, both through consumption and application. ( Mental Agility Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fat & research suggests that it helps prevent or slow down the cognitive decline associated with diseases like Alzheimer’s. (9) Strong Immune System Olive oil is loaded with antioxidants which is vital for strengthening and protecting your immune system – extra virgin olive oil may help you become more resistant to infection. This wide range of important antioxidants isn’t found in other oils. (10) Helps Run Body Smoothly Extra virgin olive oil helps the body run smoothly as it contributes to the operational health of such vital areas as the stomach, pancreas and intestines. |
