OLIVE OIL
The best Olive oil is extracted by extra virgin method when the pitted fruit is mechanically pressed without use of heat or use of solvents, that ease oil removal. It therefore retains its nutrients and flavour and is the preferred form.
Olive oil is high in phenolic anti-oxidants, mono- unsaturated fatty acids, omega-6 fatty acids, Vit E and vitamin K. One of the important phenols called hydroxytyrosal not only protects blood vessels but also stimulates them to enhance their own anti-oxidant defence system. Olive oil is unique in that 75% of its fat is of the mono-unsaturated or the omega-6 kind, which are very beneficial in the the optimal balance of total cholesterol, LDL and HDL cholesterol. Other components in olive oil have anti-platelet and anti- inflammatory effects. Research shows that olive oil controls helicobacter pylori infections of the stomach, and cancers of the upper digestive tract. Recent studies show older subjects benefit in visual memory and verbal fluency, especially in persons suffering from diseases like Alzheimers. Olive oil topically applied to the skin with the help of it’s contained vit E, polyphenol and phytosterol have potent healing and anti-aging effects. It also moisturizes hair and is a good conditioner. All these claims have been proven by Mediterranean studies that show these health benefits in people who use olive oil extensively and regularly in their recipes. And surprisingly just 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil a day is enough to showcase all these benefits in a person.
