Eating Bread With Olive Oil Could Cut Your Heart Attack Risk In 6 Weeks by sammiestar: 5:57pm On Dec 09, 2014 |
Yes! You read it right. Eating your bread with olive Oil could cut your heart attack risk in just 6 weeks. New tests reveals that regular consumption of olive oil dramatically improved chemical signals in the body linked to coronary artery disease. A study which was led by Glasgow University confirms the health benefits of a cornerstone of the Mediterranean diet, especially for those who don’t normally eat olive oil. In a report published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 20mls was added a day, about four teaspoons to the diet of healthy adults, which is the amount used in bread during a meal. But a range of signals for heart disease measured in the urine improved in only six weeks, Dr Bill Mullen, of the Institute of Cardiovascular and Medical Sciences, said: ‘If we are able to identify the early signatures of diseases before they have had a chance to take hold we can start to treat them before they become a problem requiring costly medical intervention. ‘It is the first time this technique has been applied from a nutritional perspective to try to get to the bottom of which food or what ingredient is truly responsible for health benefits.’ Dr Emilie Combet of the School of Medicine at Glasgow University, said: ‘What we found was that regardless of the phenolic content of the oil, there was a positive effect on CAD scores. ‘Any olive oil, low or high in phenolics, seems to be beneficial. ‘Our study was a supplementation study. If people in the UK replaced part of their fat intake with olive oil, it could have an ever greater effect on reducing the risk of heart disease.’ The changes detected were subtle, and conventional markers of heart disease such as cholesterol were unaffected. Dr Mullen added: ‘This is one reason why is it difficult to convince people to change their diet, they can never see an effect. ‘We have shown, for the first time, how proteomics can successfully be used to measure the health effect of food in a small study group after only six weeks. ‘Currently measures of markers like cholesterol can only tell you if you are at risk of developing a disease, not if you have it or if you don't. ‘What proteomic analysis of urine can do is measure if you are at the very early stages of disease development, before any symptoms are present, further measurements after lifestyle changes or drug treatment can then show the effects of treatment.’ Olive oil contains omega-6 fats, a form of 'healthy' polyunsaturates which blocks the body's response to inflammation in chronic conditions such as heart disease and arthritis. With this, I suppose including Olive oil in our meals won't be such a bad thing.
