Around the world people are considering their daily choices to improve their way of living. Food choices are on top of the priority list, since "you are, what you eat".
Beside the remarkable taste of ETNA, we have gathered a few pieces of advice around the health benefits of olive oil.
It’s needless to say that olive oil is one of the healthiest foods that you can enjoy for an active lifestyle.
Olives are
- very high in Vitamin E
- iron,
- polyphenols and
- other powerful antioxidants.
Studies show that the polyphenols in olive oil are good for your heart and may also protect against osteoporosis and cancer. The substantial amount of iron contained in olive oils, is a key factor in the formation of hemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen throughout the body via the bloodstream. Iron also helps to build the enzymes responsible for regulating immune function and cognitive development.
In addition to that, olive oil is known to reduce
- high blood cholesterol and
- blood pressure, which are both risk factors for heart diseases.
