OLIVE OIL BENEFITS

Olive oil is considered to be one of the rare natural oils that can preserve the taste, the vitamins, the aroma and its important nutritional properties intact for a long time. In fact, it is renowned to be the only vegetable oil that can be consumed as it is.

Olive oils contain monounsaturated fats which are known to lower the LDL or the bad cholesterols in your blood, thus preventing numerous heart problems. According to research studies, individuals who consume two table spoons of olive oil daily, greatly reduce their chances of heart strokes. Apart from assisting people on keeping away from heart diseases, it can also minimize the risks of cardiovascular disorders and certain types of cancers, while it reduces aging at Cellular level.
