ANTI-CARCINOGENIC<\/h2>
Scienti\ufb01c studies have shown that monounsaturated fats and phenols found in olive oil help the body neutralise free radicals, thereby reducing the possibility of the occurrence of various types of cancer.\n\nThe phytonutrient in olive oil, oleocanthal, mimics the effect of ibuprofen in reducing inflammation, which can decrease the risk of breast cancer and its recurrence. Squalene and lignans are among the other olive oil components being studied for their possible effects on cancer. A new study has proven that an ingredient in extra virgin olive oil can kill cancer cells.\n\nThe researchers discovered that oleocanthal caused cancer cells to break down and die very quickly; within 30 minutes, instead of the 16 to 24 hours it takes for programmed cell death, known as apoptosis.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

PROTECT AGAINST INFLUENZA VIRUS<\/h2>
Dozens of phenolic compounds have been identified in extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), each with their own unique health benefits. One of the benefits of these compounds is they have high bioavailability, extensive research reporting the anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antibacterial and antiviral properties obtained from these compounds.\n\nOnce an infection is contracted, the human body relies on the immune system to fight the infection through a range of cellular, inflammatory, and immune reactions. Although there are medications to treat infection, naturally derived food sources such as Extra Virgin Olive Oil indicate prevention for treating the infection naturally.\n\nEarly studies showed that several polyphenols in olive oil have antibacterial properties against human pathogens, particularly oleuropein, tyrosol, and hydroxytyrosol. Hydroxytyrosol has been shown to disrupt the influenza virus.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

HEART BENEFITS<\/h2>
Olive oil decreases the levels of total blood cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides. At the same time it does not alter the levels of HDL-cholesterol (and may even raise them), which plays a protective role and prevents the formation of fatty patches, thus stimulating the elimination of the low-density lipoproteins.\n\nOlive oil helps the heart function properly. According to international surveys that have been carried out, two tablespoons of olive oil a day significantly reduce the risk of death from cardiovascular disease.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL CAN REDUCE OXIDATIVE STRESS<\/h2>
Olive oil is rich in antioxidants, especially vitamin E, long thought to minimise cancer risk. Among plant oils, olive oil is the highest in monounsaturated fat, which doesn\u2019t oxidise in the body, and it is low in polyunsaturated fat, the kind that does oxidise.\n\nA new study has revealed that extra-virgin olive oil can protect the liver from oxidative stress. However, extra virgin olive oil and hydrophilic fraction intake induced a significant increase in antioxidant enzyme activity and a decrease in markers of liver damage.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

LOWERING BLOOD PRESSURE<\/h2>
Two tablespoons of phenol-rich EVOO can significantly reduce high blood pressure according, according to a University of California at Davis Olive Centre review. The study indicates that regular consumption of olive oil can help reduce both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.\n\nOther studies found that Olive Oil with a high phenolic content was more effective in lowering either systolic or diastolic blood pressure in comparison to sunflower oil, soybean oil, or re\ufb01ned olive oil with low phenol content.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

PROTECT FROM DIABETES<\/h2>
It has been demonstrated that a diet that is rich in olive oil, low in saturated fats, moderately rich in carbohydrates and soluble fibre from fruit, vegetables, pulses and grains is the most effective approach for diabetics. It reduce \u201cbad\u201d low-density lipoproteins while improving blood sugar control and enhances insulin sensitivity.\n\nTraditionally a low fat diet has been prescribed to prevent various diseases such as heart disease and diabetes. While studies have shown that high fat diets may increase the risk of certain diseases such as cancer and diabetes, it appears that it is the type of fat that counts rather than the amount of fat. We now know that a diet rich in monounsaturated fats such as the ones found in olive oil, nuts and seeds actually protects from many of these chronic diseases. <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

PROTECTIVE AGAINST OBESITY<\/h2>
A recent study carried out in eight European countries has shown that children who consume a Mediterranean diet were less likely to be overweight. Although high in calories, olive oil has shown to help reduce levels of obesity.\n\nThe results of the study conducted by Dr. Gianluca Tognon from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden were first presented at the European Congress on Obesity.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

ANTI-RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS<\/h2>
Although the reason is not entirely clear, recent studies have proved that people with diets containing high levels of olive oil are less likely to develop rheumatoid arthritis.A recent published study suggests that regular consumption of olive oil may reduce the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis.\n\nAccording to the authors of the study, the people on diets containing high levels of olive oil had less risk of suffering this disease. The study found that the people who consumed less olive oil had 2.5 times more possibility of developing rheumatoid arthritis than those who consumed it more frequently.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

PROTECT AGAINST OSTEOPOROSIS<\/h2>
Here\u2019s yet another reason to add olive oil to your diet. A recent article based on review of 37 scientific studies reports that the phenols in extra virgin olive oil may prevent loss of bone mass.\n\nA high consumption of olive oil appears to improve bone mineralization and calcification. It helps calcium absorption and so plays an important role in aiding sufferers and in preventing the onset of Osteoporosis.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t
