Olive oil is good for the arteries

Consuming at least half a tablespoon of olive oil a day is associated with a lower risk of mortality from cardiovascular disease, according to a recent Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health study of 92,000 people over 28 years.

Olive oil is good for the arteries

Researchers recommend that health professionals advise patients to replace certain fats, such as margarine and butter, with olive oil to improve their health. This advice depends not only on the quality of the product, but also on the profile of those who use it! People who consume more olive oil are often more physically active, less likely to smoke and eat more fruit and vegetables than those who consume less. This in no way detracts from the qualities of the product, which is rich in omega-9, monounsaturated fatty acids beneficial for cardiovascular risk, and polyphenols, antioxidants that slow cell aging.
