The benefits of consuming olive oil every day to prevent heart attacks.
Arteries are large blood vessels which carry oxygen rich blood from your heart to the rest
of your body.
Free radicals can build up in the body with age, causing oxidation and damage to these
blood vessels.
They can become inflamed, stiff and clogged up with plaque raising the risk of heart attacks,
strokes, and blood clots.
In fact Heart disease is the number 1 cause of death
in the USA.
Fortunately you can counter free radical damage in your body by consuming antioxidant rich
foods.
Some of the best antioxidants are carotenoids, plant pigments with yellow, orange and red
colours found in vegetables and fruits.
Some colourful examples would be Bell peppers, tomatoes, purple cabbage, kale,
raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, avocados, carrots etc…
What's interesting about
Carotenoids are fat soluble nutrients, meaning that you need to consume them with fat, so
that your body can absorb them into the cells.
Consuming 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil per day, can really help to improve the
health of your heart and arteries, by helping you to absorb these carotenoids and antioxidants.
Start cooking your vegetables with extra virgin olive oil, in your stir fries and sauces.
You should also use this in salad dressings, to help your body absorb 82% more lycopene
and other carotenoids.
Lutein and Zeaxanthin are two powerful carotenoids which help to prevent macular degeneration
in the eyes with age,
Helping to protect you against vision loss.
Lycopene likewise, found heavily in tomatoes has been shown to thin the walls of the arteries
for better blood flow.
Carotenoids have also been associated with lower cancer risk, by helping to scavenge
and neutralise free radicals in your blood.
This is why it's extremely important to consume your vegetables with a healthy fat such as
extra virgin olive oil, raw coconut oil or avocado flesh.
In addition,
Extra virgin olive oil also contains oleuropein, a natural chemical which has been shown to
thin out the walls of the arteries,
And naturally help lower blood pressure so that the blood can flow freely through the
body.
Consuming at least 1 tablespoon of olive each day can help the fight the damaging effects
of aging on your internal organs, and your external skin.
This is why olive oil is often used in skin treatments and cosmetic products, as it helps
to nourish and protect the collagen in your skin.
Make Sure It's Real
Most extra virgin olive oils you find on the shelves in supermarkets are fake, and contain
seed oils blended with them.
Real olive oil has a pungent and fruity aroma, and causes a slight tickle or burn in the
back of your throat when you consume it.
This is the antioxidants gently reacting to the bacteria in your mouth.
High quality Olive Oil is cold pressed and crushed from fresh olives, from areas such
as Italy, Spain and Morocco.
