OLIVIAN GROVES would like to introduce you to the magical world of exceptional Extra Virgin Olive Oil, which nourishes both body and mind!
EXTRA VIRGIN Olive Oil significantly benefits heart health, lowers chronic inflammation, and supports brain function, making it a cornerstone of the Mediterranean diet.
It is the healthiest form of Οlive Οil — Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) — is made basically the same way, it was more than 3,000 years ago in ancient Greece. “You take olives, you press them in a millstone and collect the oil in a bucket, and that’s it. There’s no processing to it.”
Many other oils — such as lampante, canola, sunflower, corn oil or many other — undergo chemical treatments, and mask odor, or extend shelf life. That’s not the case with EVOO. This minimal processing preserves EVOO’s anti-inflammatory compounds, giving it an edge over other oils.
Olive oil’s anti-inflammatory properties are crucial because inflammation drives many chronic diseases. That’s one of the big causes of heart diseases. By reducing inflammation, olive oil can help protect the heart and improve cardiovascular health. It also can affect other inflammation-driven conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease, arthritis, erectile dysfunction, dementia and atrial fibrillation.
Beyond lowering inflammation, olive oil supports healthy blood vessel function. According to doctors “It helps the endothelium, which is the lining of your arteries. It increases nitric oxide availability, which helps the blood vessels get bigger and dilate, helps lower blood pressure, and improves blood flow.”
To get the most benefits, pay attention to the type of olive oil you use and how you use it. Of the three main types of olive oil — extra virgin, virgin and refined — EVOO is the least processed and the healthiest.
That healthy reputation has led some social media influencers to post videos of drinking daily “olive oil shots.” But let this kind of tasting to the «connoisseurs” because mediterranean diet prefers to have incorporated into meals.
