The Health Benefits of Olive Oil - Monday, February 11, 2008
We have all heard that olive oil is the healthiest of the oils to consume in the foods we eat, but did you know it could be beneficial to your health in other ways? According to studies, olive oil has the following health benefits:Reduces your risk of developing skin cancer because olive oil contains polyphenols, highly potent plant antioxidants that protect against the cell mutations that can cause skin cancer.
Healthy for your heart. Olive oil helps to keep your good cholesterol levels up and lowers your bad cholesterol levels. It also reduces inflammation in your body.
Keeps blood pressure down. The strong polyphenols help dilate arteries, which, in turn, lowers blood pressure.
Helps you lose weight. While all oils have virtually the same amount of calories, olive oil is extremely flavorful, making you less likely to add on extra sauces and dressings.
Eases headaches. Olive oil contains oleocanthal, a natural compound that blocks pain and inflammation, similar to how ibuprofen works.
