Olive Oil
The Mediterranean diet and consumption of olive oil is associated with a low incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The Lyon Diet Heart Study reported lower rates of coronary recurrence in people who consumed a Mediterranean diet. Other studies have focused specifically on olive oil and show that use of olive oil may reduce cardiovascular risk factors by decreasing plasma triglycerides, total and low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, platelet activation, inflammation and oxidative damage. It is also thought to increase high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and antioxidant status. Read More | |||
Memory
A balanced diet and regular exercise are also good ways to keep an active memory healthy, slow the onset of dementia (a progressive decline in cognitive function), and maybe even prevent the development of Alzheimer's. Eating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants—including fish, nuts, olive oil, and blueberries—is especially helpful, as is getting plenty of exercise, which increases blood flow to the brain and stimulates hormone production and nerve growth. Exercising the brain through such activities as reading, writing, working puzzles, visiting museums, and playing cards may also help prevent memory cobwebs, though there’s no guarantee such activities will have a significant effect.

Effect of ingestion of virgin olive oil on human low-density lipoprotein composition Conclusion: After ingestion of virgin olive oil, an increase in antioxidants and oleic acid in LDL was observed as well as an improvement of LDL resistance to oxidation. Our results support the idea that daily ingestion of virgin olive oil could protect LDL from oxidation. Read More…PDF | |||
