Olive Oil: Good for Your Heart

9/11/2014

 
A lot of research has been done on the benefits of olive oil for healthy people.  It lowers the chances of having a heart attack or stroke.  New research is suggesting that it may benefit those who undergo heart bypass surgery by decreasing the chance that they will die in the month following surgery.  It has been found that those who ate less than 1 tablespoon of olive oil a day were four times more likely to die from a heart attack or stroke than those who ate 3 or more tablespoons of olive oil a day.  It is especially beneficial when it is used to replace other fats, such as other vegetable oils, butter and margarine.

Olive oil is good for heart health.
Out of all the oils, olive oil has the most heart-protecting antioxidants that have anti-inflammatory and anti-clotting properties.  Extra virgin olive oil is the most beneficial.  It is best to buy it in dark bottles, if possible and keep it in a dark cabinet since light and heat can cause it to become rancid.  The Journal of Food Science found that after six months of storage, the antioxidants in olive oil are 40 percent less effective at fighting cell-damaging free radicals.  The highest quality olive is imported from Greece, Spain and Italy, so check the label.
