🌿 Discover the incredible benefits of EXTRA VIRGIN olive oil! 🌿
Good news for your cardiovascular health! Two recent studies confirm that the consumption of extra virgin olive oil significantly reduces the risk of heart disease such as heart attacks and strokes. In addition, it improves cholesterol and prevents diabetes.
🔍 What do the Predimed (*) and CordioPrev (**) studies reveal? 🔍
Predimed found that a Mediterranean diet with extra virgin olive oil reduced the risk of heart attack by 30%. And CordioPrev has shown that even for those who have already suffered a heart attack, extra virgin olive oil reduces the risk of a second event by 27%.
👩⚕️ Why is it so effective?👨⚕️
Because extra virgin olive oil contains powerful antioxidants and protects our arteries. Its quality lies in its minority components such as polyphenols and squalene.
The SECRET is to choose EXTRA VIRGIN olive oil from the last harvest to get the benefits to the maximum!
That is to say, generally harvest dates between the months of October and December in the northern hemisphere (therefore near us in the Mediterranean).
Our health deserves the best! Extra virgin olive oil is the ideal ally for your heart, and in addition it is delicious and it enhances your daily dishes!
