A heart attack is a condition that affects a third of the world’s population today. While it can be avoided, or the risk reduced through a good diet, olive oil is one ingredient that has been proven to reduce the risk of this condition.
A heart attack happens when the blood flow is obstructed by fatty deposits along with cholesterol that accumulates over time. Heart attacks can either be minor or can be very fatal, as it is the cause of death for many. Express reports that many foremost health experts recommend making changes in the diet to help cleanse the arteries, such as avocado, asparagus, fatty fish, broccoli, watermelon, and nuts.
Along with the kind of food to eat to cleanse the arteries, there is a particular cooking oil that is proven to help reduce the risk of the disease as well; Olive oil. Express also reports that olive oil is filled with antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory properties, and therefore can help in reducing the risk of heart attacks.
Olive oil also happens to be one of the staples in a Mediterranean diet. Going further, a study was conducted on the health properties of olive oil by the US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health. They found that virgin olive oil has a number of “phenolic compounds that exert potent anti-inflammatory actions.”
Because olive oil also has unsaturated fatty acids, consuming foods in olive oil or using olive oil in cooking healthy meals can help improve heart health. Another study has also noted that increased consumption of olive oil was attributed to a lower risk of dying from heart disease by 48 percent. Olive oil can also help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease, heart attacks for one.
As diet plays a big role in the risk of heart disease, changes made in the food to eat will bring in improvements. The good news is that eating healthy does not necessarily mean eating food that does not taste good as there are many recipes that make eating healthier just as delicious. Incorporating olive oil into cooking or food intake makes for a good start.
