Olive oil helps to
maintain healthy
cholesterol levels
Olive oil helps to maintain
healthy cholesterol
levels in the body. The
monounsaturated fat in olive
oil has been shown to control
LDL (bad) cholesterol and
raise HDL (good) cholesterol.
This can potentially lower your
risk of heart disease. Olive oil
is best for cooking and can
also be used for frying.
Extra virgin olive oil
and acute pancreatitis
30
Extra virgin olive oil is rich in
oleic acid and hydroxytyrosol,
which affect the development
of acute pancreatitis. The
pancreas is a long, flat gland
located behind the stomach
in the upper abdomen. It
produces digestive enzymes
and hormones which regulate
on how the body processes
glucose. Olive oil helps you to
develop the acute pancreas
and control the glucose
level in the body and helps
the diabetes patient to feel
healthy and live a normal life.
Olive Oil Protects
Liver
Mohamed Hammami from
the University of Monastir
said, “Olive oil is an
integral ingredient in the
Mediterranean diet. There is
growing evidence that it may
have great health benefits
including the reduction in
coronary heart disease,
prevention of some cancers
and the modification of
immune and inflammatory
responses. Here, we’ve
shown that extra virgin olive
oil and its extracts protect
against oxidative damage of
hepatic tissue”.
