HEALTH: Olive Oil and Health (REMEDIES, RECIPES)

 

Olive Oil and Health

 

As doctors said, prevention is number one factor for good health.

Speaking as simple as we can and without the use of special medical

terms we must point out the following:

 

1. Many diseases are caused by the incontrollable receipt of food,

especially food containing in excess saturated fatty acids (animal

fats), leading to arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases.

 

Medical studies indicate that Mediterranean countries and specifically

Greece, where olive oil consumption is high, suffer less cardiovascular

problems from any other country in the world where the ratio of the

consumption of animal fat is high or simply the nutrition parameters are

poor.

 

By reducing the animal fats and increasing olive oil in our diet we

obtain a perfect combination for the prevention of such fatal diseases,

like arteriosclerosis and heart attacks.

 

2. The problems in bile area torture millions of people on our planet.

The bad function of the bile and the formation of gallstone are problems

difficult to cure and most of the times medical surgery is the only

solution available.

 

Recent medical studies proved that olive oil, perfectly compatible with

human body needs, creates a natural tie to those liquids that result in

the formation of the gallstone mitigating pain and annoyance in bile's area.

 

3. Millions of people around the world suffer by stomach problems and

related diseases. Very serious is the gastric ulcer disease. As it is

known the use of olive oil in nutrition is a beneficial factor for the

function of the digestive system due to its property of keeping low the

" percentage of HCl " in our stomach.

 

Thus, the olive oil helps the normal function of the digestive system

reducing to minimum the chances of ulcer creation and the other relative

diseases, not to mention that is the best natural medicament for the

fight against constipation.

 

It has been also proved that the use of olive oil in nutrition helps to

sustain:

 

1. Human metabolism at a good balance, body's growth and bone growth at

a good level. It is obvious that olive oil means good health and

development for our children.

 

2. Good level of Vitamin E in our body. This vitamin has the property to

delay the change of the cellular structure which leads to natural

decadence, the people's aging, so one of the best medicaments for

delaying aging is the olive oil. On the other hand, as we all know,

Vitamin E improves our sexual life. So one can say that olive oil is by

itself an aphrodisiac! Last but not least, is the unique property of

olive oil to dissolve useful substances coming from food that cannot be

absorbed by the human body.

 

Olive oil is used in everyday cooking. It can be used in salads or added

in the cooking process of almost any recipe. Olive Oil is the healthiest

type of oil with 0% cholesterol, rich in Vitamins against aging and

perfect even for frying dishes. Olive oil is the best nutritional gift

we can offer to ourselves.

 

Olive oil helps us keep good in health making our life pleasant.
