Extra virgin olive oil<\/strong> is not only delicious, but it is very good: for millennia, even before having scientific evidence, man has always resorted to its use for curative and medicinal purposes. The properties of the oil, magnified by the “extra virgin olive” variety (both for quality and for the pressing and conservation processes), affect the entire body.<\/p>

Extra virgin olive oil contains vitamins, antioxidants, phytosterols and monounsaturated fatty acids. A nutritional composition that makes it a product of great importance for our body, provided that it is consumed in small doses.<\/p>

The content of monounsaturated fatty acids<\/strong> (mainly oleic acid) eliminates the harmful effect of other foods containing polyunsaturated fatty acids. The antioxidant molecular content of extra virgin olive oil helps prevent the formation of free radicals in the early stages, thus protecting the cell from oxidation (anti-aging)<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The antioxidant molecular content of extra virgin olive oil helps prevent the formation of free radicals in the early stages, thus protecting the cell from oxidation (anti-aging)<\/strong>.<\/p>

Extra virgin olive oil has been recognized as having a particular protective action in cardiovascular diseases, thanks to the presence of oleic acid.<\/p>

In extra virgin olive oil there is a substance baptized as OLEOCANTALE<\/strong> which acts just like common non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX), an inflammatory enzyme.<\/p>

Finally, a study<\/strong> on individuals aged between 70 and 90<\/strong> who followed the Mediterranean diet showed that there was a reduction in mortality from cardiovascular diseases and cancers of more than 50%<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Prevents cardiovascular disease<\/strong>
Due to its particular composition, in particular for the content of monounsaturated fatty acids (mainly oleic acid), it eliminates the harmful effect of other foods containing polyunsaturated fatty acids.<\/p>

Laxative and pain reliever<\/strong>
Not everyone knows that this oil is also slightly laxative and that due to the presence of oleocanthal, it also has an anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving function. In particular it is effective in cases of joint pain.<\/p>

Antioxidant<\/strong>
One of the main properties of the oil is that of being an antioxidant, due to the phenols and tocopherols it contains, capable of effectively counteracting free radicals.<\/p>

Friend of the brain<\/strong>
Olive oil helps to delay mental deterioration and therefore to keep neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s at bay.<\/p>

Anticancer<\/strong>
Recent studies have highlighted how people who regularly consume extra virgin olive oil are less likely to develop cancer, due to the fact that it contains oleic acid, antioxidants, flavonoids, polyphenols and squalene.<\/p>

Diabetes<\/strong>
The fatty acids in extra virgin olive oil help regulate blood sugar levels and insulin production: it is therefore an ally against diabetes.<\/p>

Blood pressure<\/strong>
Consumed in moderation, the oil can be useful for keeping blood pressure under control.<\/p>

Ally against cholesterol<\/strong>
Extra virgin olive oil helps to regulate the level of cholesterol in the blood, increasing the level of the good one and promoting the elimination of the bad one.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
