[ps2id id='anchor1' target=''/]Benefits and properties of extra virgin olive oil.
A food that is part of the incredibly healthy Mediterranean diet.
It is valued as one of the best diets in the world:
the Mediterranean diet is considered as such not only because of the
countless health benefits that the foods from the Mediterranean basin provide, but also because it is
very balanced. A balanced diet means that it
includes foods of all kinds in the appropriate proportions: 40% carbohydrates, 35% healthy fats (such as the extra virgin olive oil we sell at caballodeoros.com), and 25% proteins. Specifically, the Mediterranean diet is attributed great value and contribution in the prevention and fight against certain heart conditions and others.
The extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) we have in our online store consists of
monounsaturated fatty acids that are
completely healthy compared to other types of vegetable oils with
polyunsaturated fatty acids such as sunflower oil, palm oil, etc., which have been shown to have harmful properties for our health.
Health benefits of extra virgin olive oil:
As we already know,
olive oil, especially high-quality
extra virgin; has
countless health benefits among which we highlight the following:
1. It provides us with longevity.
In addition to the delicious flavor it adds to our dishes, extra virgin olive oil has a great ability to prevent numerous diseases. Many scientific studies from prestigious research centers certify that people who regularly consume extra virgin olive oil live longer than those who consume other types of polyunsaturated vegetable oils such as sunflower oil. Additionally, olive oil, thanks to its enormous antioxidant power (anti-cancer), has added value in combating cellular aging (the effect of free radicals) and preventing certain types of cancer (as we will see below).
2. It has a powerful antibacterial effect.
Extra virgin olive oil has a great antibacterial power that helps prevent all kinds of infections caused by bacteria in our body, but it is particularly effective against the well-known bacterium called Helicobacter Pylori: a bacterium that can cause numerous problems in the digestive system, including all types of ulcers and even stomach cancer in the most severe cases. According to a prestigious scientific study from the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC): 30 grams of extra virgin olive oil daily for 15 days has been shown to be capable of eliminating this bacterium in 8 of the existing strains (at a high percentage), 3 of which are even resistant to antibiotics prescribed by doctors.
3. It is beneficial for our digestive and intestinal system.
As we have mentioned in the previous point, extra virgin olive oil, thanks to its antibacterial power, is especially beneficial for our digestive health. Moreover, in addition to the above, it is also important to highlight the great role of olive oil in reducing excess gastric acids that can cause ulcers of all kinds, commonly referred to as "reflux." Additionally, extra virgin olive oil promotes the absorption of minerals such as calcium and magnesium, which increases the pH of our body.
4. It helps prevent inflammatory diseases like arthritis.
EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) is an ally of our body in the fight against inflammation (caused by the oxidation from free radicals), especially in certain diseases and ailments in the joints such as inflammation caused by rheumatoid arthritis, which is traditionally believed to be associated with deficiencies in the immune system (the antibodies attack healthy cells when they should protect them from external agents). This beneficial effect of olive oil is multiplied when it is combined with the intake of omega-3 fatty acids (which are found in large amounts in fatty fish).
5. It maintains the health of our cognitive functions.
Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) contains very healthy antioxidant compounds called polyphenols, which also actively contribute to other benefits on this list,
