HEART DISEASE PREVENTION
Olive oil is a natural juice of major nutritional importance, pure and undeniably healthy.
The body taps small quantities of olive oil to obtain the valuable energy it needs every day.
Scientific research by researchers such as Dr. Ancel Keys, in the 1960’s, and by professor Paul White, from Harvard University, have certified the exceptional beneficial effects that olive oil has on our health, due to the fact that in some regions of the Mediterranean basin with high consumption of olive oil, heart disease rates are the lowest in the world.
Furthermore, the particular content of fatty acids in olive oil and the presence of antioxidant compounds create a shield against the oxidative action of free radicals, which are especially harmful to the human organism.
Its therapeutic properties are significant and vast, including the reduction of the gall stone development within the human body, as well as the lowering of cholesterol (LDL cholesterol) in the blood, which is responsible for atherosclerosis and heart disease.
