Olive oil is a popular type of oil that is made by pressing whole olives. It is commonly used in cooking, particularly in Mediterranean cuisine. There are several potential health benefits associated with olive oil:
-
Heart health: Olive oil is high in monounsaturated fats, which have been shown to help lower bad cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.
-
Anti-inflammatory: Olive oil contains antioxidants called polyphenols, which may help reduce inflammation in the body.
-
Cancer prevention: Some studies have suggested that the antioxidants in olive oil may help protect against certain types of cancer, such as breast and colon cancer.
-
Diabetes management: Olive oil may help improve blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes.
-
Weight management: Although it is high in calories, some research suggests that consuming olive oil as part of a healthy diet may help with weight loss.
