We are going to give you a solid reason to make your diet high in EVOO:
• Unlike many other oils, EVOO actually helps decrease inflammation in the body due to its polyphenols. These polyphenols help reverse the inflammatory response. Just one to two tablespoons a day is recommended for anti-inflammatory benefits.
• Looking for a sharper mind? EVOO has been shown in studies that observe the Mediterranean diet, to help increase visual memory.
• It helps prevent cancer. According to Dr. Andrew Weil, polyphenols help reduce chronic inflammation, which is linked to certain types of cancer. As olives and EVOO contain a high amount of polyphenols, EVOO can help reduce your risk of cancer.
• And, it may help increase your digestion. According to new research, polyphenols help reduce the growth of bacteria in the gut and colon and may help stop the growth of H.Pylori, a bacteria linked to a host of illnesses and chronic diseases.
• Cancer prevention has been one of the most active areas of olive oil research, and the jury is no longer out on the health benefits of olive oil with respect to cancer. Twenty-five studies on olive oil intake and cancer risk have recently been analyzed by a team of researchers at the Mario Negri Institute for Pharmacological Research Institute in Milan, Italy. Firmly established by this research team were the risk-reducing effects of olive oil intake with respect to cancers of the breast, respiratory tract, upper digestive tract and, to a lesser extent, lower digestive tract (colorectal cancers). These anti-cancer benefits of olive oil became most evident when the diets of routine olive oil users were compared with the diets of individuals who seldom used olive oil and instead consumed diets high in saturated added fat, especially butter.
