Good fat breaks down the stubborn fats that have accumulated in

your cells.Here's how:

 

Hard, insoluble fats are hydrolyzed during the digestive process.In

other words, they're converted into *plaque* like molecules that are

deposited into your adipose cells and tissues.

 

Over a period of time, your cells become so swollen with these

molecules that you put on pound after pound, inch after inch. Your

fatty cells now make you fatter and fatter.

 

Liquid monounsaturated fats (n-3s and n-9s from free-flowing extra-

virgin olive oil performs a unique service for your body.It creates

a reaction that tends to release substances called *phospholipids*

or fat melters- in the form of unsaturated fatty acids.

 

These components *liquefy* or break down the plaque like molecules

that have attached themselves to your adipose cells.

 

 

Olive oil has a twofold purpose, it provides the essential fat that

is required for your body's proper functioning and at the same time,

it melts and *flushes* out any accumulated " hard " cellular fat.

 

Olive oil is not only the source of the unsaturated fatty acids that

contain powerful fat-melting nutrients. The majority of *seafood*

fats are unsaturated as well. As a result, they also aid in helping

to *dislodge* accumulated fatty clumps so they can be broken

down and *flushed* out of your body.

 

When you add extra-virgin olive oil to a salad dressing or use it in

cooking, you introduce the beneficial omega-9 'oleic' fatty acids

into your bloodstream. In addition to creating the " breakdown "

and " synthesis " of *accumulated* fat in your adipose cells, these

ingredients perform some additional health-building benefits as

follows:

 

 

1.They provide you with omega-9 essential fatty acids which your

body cannot manufacture on its own.

 

2.Once absorbed, these good fats become your basic source of reserve

energy.

 

3.They form the essential constituents of cell membranes that

regulate the *intake* and *removal* of " wastes " by your cells.

 

4.They act as insulators to maintain a healthy body temperature.

 

5.They insulate and *protect* your body's essential organs,

especially your heart, liver and kidneys.

 

6.They provide a feeling of satiety--appetite satisfaction -after

eating only small amounts of foods. This reduces hunger pangs- or

gastric secretions - and helps you avoid overeating.

 

Wonder Oils

 

What makes extra-virgin olive oil qualify as a wonder oil?

It contains an essential fatty acid which is known to nutritionists

as " oleic " acid, which is almost like dynamite to your cells.

First of all, it *loosens* and " breaks up " the fat that has so

stubbornly clung to your cells and tissues.

 

Oleic acid also provides these additional benefits:

 

1.It *strengthens* your capillaries and cell membranes

while " scubbing " them clean of accumulated fatty weight " deposits " .

 

2.It preserves the health of your skin by regulating its " water "

balance. This helps protect against the formation of wrinkles after

weight loss resulting from insufficient moisture content.

 

3.It helps *transport* cholesterol so that it does not *accumulate*

in

your adipose cells and overburden them with even more fat.

 

4.It lowers *excessive* LDL (bad) cholesterol levels in your

bloodstream and

minimizes the fat that could clog your arteries.

 

5.It helps properly maintain your body's reproductive abilities.

 

6.It helps " regulate " blood clotting.

 

7.It promotes the healing of wounds.

 

 

 

Health Benefits

 

Have you ever felt weak and more susceptible to illness while on a

reducing program?

When you go off your diet, do the pounds return?

 

This is because a severely restricted diet is usually deficient in

its supply of the " essential fatty acids " that serve as *cushions*

for your digestive system and related organs.

 

Furthermore, since your *adipose* cells represent the core of a

weight problem, you need to have all the essential fatty acids to

attack and destroy the *plaque* on your cells and provide a lasting

weight-loss.

 

Free-flowing extra-virgin olive oil can solve these problems too.

It can actually boost your immune system as you become slimmer,

without any of the all too common undesirable side effects.

 

Extra-virgin olive oil contains components that your body converts

into substances called *prostaglandins*.

These contribute to a wide range of health-boosting reactions in

your body including:

 

 

1.Regulating blood pressure.

 

2.Protecting all your organs so they function effectively.

 

3.Guarding against inflammation and undesirable painful reactions.

 

4.Soothing your hunger pangs by coating your digestive organs.

 

 

Furthermore, these wonder oils contain a little known but almost

miraculous *cell-scrubbing* ingredient that holds the key to

slimming your body - *phospholipids*,

the fat-melter we discussed earlier.

 

 

When you consume one or two tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil

daily, you reward your body with a rich supply of " phospholipids " .

 

They go directly to your adipose cells and tissues and break down

the " fatty sheath " that is responsible for the fat overload.

 

There are even more benefits as well:

 

1.They're able to maintain the structural " integrity " of your cells

so

that even during extreme dieting, you experience very little

weakening in overall body tone.

 

2.They're needed for essential blood clotting and for insulating the

*nerve* fibers in your brain.

 

3.They reduce the nervous urge to eat.

 

4.They soothe and satisfy your vital organs.
