Boosting ‘good’ HDL cholesterol and reducing ‘bad’ LDL, the monounsaturated fatty acids in our EVOO have been shown to protect against heart disease.
Considered essential, these fatty acids have been linked to numerous health benefits.
Our Kolymvari Organic EVOO is USDA certified Organic.
Olive oil in our daily diet is the main ingredient for healthy, wholesome living. The content in monounsaturated fatty acids has been shown to protect against heart disease by boosting ‘good’ (HDL) and reduce ‘bad’ cholesterol (HDL). Also, research has found evidence of it being protective against diabetes since it appears to help in the regulation of blood sugar levels, unlike other forms of fat such as saturated and polyunsaturated.
Olive oil is an excellent source of the fat soluble vitamins A, D, K, E and polyphenols, which have been indicated as safeguards from certain types of cancer (breast, colon, prostate, etc.). Due to its antioxidant action it slows cell aging and increases the life cycle, helps in proper functioning of the digestive system and improves skin health. The nutrients olive oil contains play a key role in fetal development during pregnancy and deficiency in one of them can have a negative effect.
Olive oil appears to have a favourable effect on bone calcification. It helps calcium absorption, thereby playing an important part during the period of growth and in the prevention of osteoporosis.
These are just a few of the beneficial properties of olive oil which is an elixir of life, health and longevity.
